About this map

Crazy Horse Carvings dominate the eastern landscape of this Black Hills survey, representing a significant period of monumental artistry and local history. The map detail highlights the complex hydrology of the region, where the N Fork French Cr and Middle Fork French Cr converge into French Cr. Settlement patterns are sparse, defined primarily by service points like the Junction Ranger Station and small clusters such as Berne.

Logistics and backcountry access are well-documented through a network of forest roads including Saginaw Rd and Roetzel Rd, leading to remote landmarks like the Bear Mountain Lookout. Numerous springs and gulches, such as Vestal Springs, Graveyard Gulch, and Bugtown Gulch, offer critical reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing land use and early homesteading sites in Custer County.
