1957 Map of Wind Cave

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Wind Cave National Park is defined by its complex network of ridges and canyons, where the Black Hills transition from high peaks to the prairie floor. In the late 1950s, the park's administrative center at the Wind Cave Park Headquarters served as the primary gateway to the subterranean world, while the surface remained a landscape of active and quieted human occupation. South of the park boundary, the valley landscape reflects the area's ranching heritage, with private holdings like the Sanson Ranch, Streeter Ranch, and the 7-11 Ranch following the watercourses of Beaver Creek and its tributaries. A notable marker of shifting local demographics is the Martin Valley Sch (Abandoned), located near the southern edge of the survey, which suggests the consolidation of rural education as the mid-century progressed.
