About this map

Ellsworth Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of the southwestern landscape in this 2015 survey, illustrating the deep military footprint in the Black Hills region. The base’s infrastructure transitions into the developing residential and educational patterns of Box Elder, including the National American University Ellsworth AFB Extension. North of this military hub, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Elk Creek and Antelope Cr, which carve through the open country.

The settlement at Bend and the community of Ashland Heights are connected by a network of rural routes such as Elk Creek Rd and School Rd. Private aviation is represented by the Running Colors Airport, while natural landmarks like Sweet Gulch provide topographic variety. The division between Meade and Pennington Counties runs through the heart of the map, marking a boundary between suburban expansion and the more remote agricultural lands of the South Dakota plains.
