2012 Map of Black Hills

About this map

Cook Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Black Hills, where the drainage patterns of Beaver Cr and Lame Jones Cr define the rugged topography. The area is characterized by prominent ridgelines and water sources, including the Taylor Divide and Ellsbury Divide, which separate the various creek branches. Numerous springs, such as Scott Spring, Selliez Spring, and Togus Spring, indicate the vital water sources that have supported local land use and grazing in this portion of Crook County.
