Why this spot
1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Spring Creek in the central Black Hills; an early placer and later tin and railroad camp
One of the oldest Hills camps, revived by tin mining and the Burlington railroad; the earliest Sanborn documents the compact creekside town at its turn-of-century size.
