Black Elk Peak, South Dakota

About the Art
Welcome to Black Elk Peak, the highest point in South Dakota. On top of the peak rests an old fire
lookout, a tower that used to be manned around the clock. The purpose of the tower was to allow
watchers to spot wildfires in the Black Hills and to enable them to act quickly to put such fires out. The
tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the mid-1930s. The peak rests in the Black
Hills National Forest, meaning that visitors to the peak can look out from the tower and witness the
beauty of nature untouched by man for hundreds of miles. Ourselves lovers of a good view and an
endless expanse of nature, the Anderson Design Group art team rendered vintage poster art of Black
Elk Peak, designing the artwork after the WPA-commissioned works that would have been in vogue
when the Civilian Conservation Corps built the fire tower. Available as a poster, print, notecard,
postcard, metal sign, canvas banner, or hand-stretched canvas, this artwork makes for an excellent
souvenir or gift. And to learn more about Black Elk Peak, visit the peak’s information
