2015 Map of Argyle

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this western South Dakota landscape, characterized by a series of deep drainages and canyon systems. The settlement of Argyle sits at a junction of roads in the southeastern portion of the map, situated near the head of Argyle Canyon. The local terrain is defined by dramatic geographic features like Red Canyon and Cold Brook Canyon, which slice through the timbered hills. For those tracing the early transportation and recreation history of Custer County, the map highlights the winding path of the Mickelson Trl as it follows the historical rail corridor. Water sources like Dallan Spring and Upper Hand Spring are noted throughout the forest, while family-named landmarks such as Hopkins Flats and Pleasant Valley indicate early settlement patterns and ranching history in the Black Hills.
