1957 Map of Wind Cave

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Wind Cave National Park is the central focus of this South Dakota survey, illustrating the complex landscape above the famous subterranean cavern system during the mid-20th century. The map highlights the specialized infrastructure of the park, including the Park Headquarters, the distinct Pigtail Bridge, and fire lookouts atop Rankin Ridge and Elk Mountain. A network of gulches and canyons, such as Limestone Canyon and Negro Canyon, define the drainage patterns flowing toward Beaver Creek and Red Valley Creek.
