1984 Map of Tinton

About this map

The Tinton Mining District anchors the southern portion of this 1984 survey, situated on the Wyoming-South Dakota border within the Black Hills National Forest. The landscape is heavily marked by the region’s mineral history, featuring a dense concentration of operations such as the Eureka No 1 Mine, Centennial Mine, and Mallory Hill Mine. These sites are linked by a network of gulches, including Negro Gulch and Bear Gulch, where the Bear Gulch Cem is located. In the northwest corner, the Ranch A National Fish Genetics Laboratory represents a specialized federal presence near the banks of Sand Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated but industrially active frontier, where small settlements like Welcome and Potato sit alongside family-named holdings like the C Nicholas Ranch and J Miller Ranch.
