Belle Fourche serves as a critical junction in western South Dakota where the Belle Fourche River meets the Redwater River. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and regional infrastructure, featuring a complex network of irrigation and transport including the Inlet Canal and Redwater Canal. The town's layout is grounded by established sites like Riverside Cem and the Belle Fourche Municipal Airport to the north. Smaller watercourses like Pool Cr, Crow Cr, and Willow Cr cross the surrounding prairie, while several local burial grounds, including Minnesota Cem and Pine Slope Cem, provide vital touchpoints for genealogists researching family history in Butte County. The presence of specialized roads like Diversion Dam Rd and Industrial St reflects the community's ongoing reliance on both its river-fed agriculture and its position as a regional trade hub.
