Mount Rushmore

This week's GLO record of the week will take you back in time to discover how the world's largest sculpture was created. The survey plat pictured below is of Township 2 South, Range 5 East, of the Black Hills Meridian in South Dakota. Today, this area is home to the famous sculpture, Mount Rushmore, which is depicted on the East boundary of Section 13. Read more about our record of the week in ARCGIS Story Maps.
