2021 Map of Argyle

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land defines this landscape near the settlement of Argyle, where the transition from high plateaus to deep drainage systems is meticulously recorded. The terrain is marked by distinctive geographical features such as Hopkins Flats in the north and the deep incisions of Red Canyon and Cold Brook Canyon to the south and east. A complex network of ranch roads and forest routes, including Stage Stop Rd, Canyon Rim Ranch Rd, and Pleasant Valley Rd, provides access across the rugged topography. Vital water sources like Dallan Spring and Upper Hand Spring are located near the headwaters of Pleasant Valley Cr. This area reflects the modern land management patterns of southwestern South Dakota, where private ranching interests and public forest lands meet among the limestone outcrops and pine-covered ridges.
