In the early days, the finished wood products were transported to Lead via the Black Hills and ft. Pierre Railroad, built by Homestake in the pioneering days. The railroad line and the logging and milling operations left the Nemo scene in the early and mid-30s. This photo shows the sawmill nestled along Box Elder Creek, surrounded by the pine-covered hills and the homes of lumber and timber department employees." 112-20: Aerial view of Nemo |
