About this map

Argyle and the surrounding high country of the Black Hills National Forest are documented in this 2017 study of Custer County. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and plateau-like summits, with Pleasant Valley Creek and Cold Brook Canyon carving distinct routes through the terrain. Evidence of rural South Dakota life is visible in the network of forest roads and small settlements like Pleasant Valley and Red Canyon, which sit tucked among named draws and springs.

Water sources are vital markers in this semi-arid environment, represented by Callan Spring, Upper Hand Spring, and the Blue Heron area. The presence of Hopkins Flats suggests the topographical variety found within the forest boundaries. The road network is particularly intricate here, with numerous labeled branches such as Martin Draw Br 1A and Loring Siding Br 1C, providing a detailed record of access routes used for forest management and local travel.
