Completed in 1922 as part of the Needles Highway (SD 87), the one-lane tunnel measures just 8 feet 4 inches wide and 11 feet 3 inches high, requiring careful navigation by passing vehicles. Its name comes from the adjacent rock formation, where centuries of wind and water erosion sculpted a sharp, needle-like opening. Surrounded by dense ponderosa pine forest and sheer stone walls, this section of the highway offers one of the most dramatic mountain drives in the American Midwest, linking the spire formations of Custer State Park with the scenic byways leading toward Sylvan Lake and Mount Rushmore.

These massive mammals, capable of weighing over a ton, roam freely across the park’s 71,000 acres of mixed-grass prairie and ponderosa pine forest. The setting reflects both the ecological restoration of the Great Plains and the enduring legacy of America’s native megafauna, which has been tied to the land for millennia.

July 2019 — Carved into a rugged slope of weathered schist and limestone, this small mine entrance sits near the historic mining corridors west of Custer, South Dakota — a remnant of the Black Hills’ 19th-century gold rush.

Surrounding the portal are piles of tailings and fractured quartz veins that reveal the area’s geologic complexity — part of an ancient mountain uplift more than 1.8 billion years old.

Wisconsin State Reformatory Main Entrance, Green Bay

Wisconsin State Reformatory Main Entrance, Green Bay

June 2019 — Built in 1898, the Wisconsin State Reformatory in Green Bay is a monumental example of early 20th-century correctional architecture, designed to project authority through its Romanesque Revival stonework and fortress-like symmetry. The façade, constructed from locally quarried gray limestone, features narrow arched windows, heavy masonry, and a commanding central pediment above the main entryway. Originally intended as a progressive institution focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment, the reformatory combined rigid design with reform-era ideals. The weathered sign above the entrance—still reading “Wisconsin State Reformatory”—marks one of the few remaining intact examples of this architectural period in the state’s penal history.
