A paved road curves between tall, needle-like granite spires of the Pinnacles in Custer State Park, with forested slopes and distant blue hills beyond. The Needles Highway, completed in 1922 as part of the Black Hills road system engineered under Governor Peter Norbeck, is famous for its pigtail bridges and narrow rock tunnels cut through these granite formations. The card's linen texture and Curt Teich-style number date it to the mid-20th century.
Linen-textured stock with a white border; card number 2A-H638 printed in the lower right corner.
No postmark, stamp, address or message — unused card. Divided-back linen-era chrome postcard (Curteich, ca. 1930s–40s) with white border; light soiling/toning on the address side.
