2015 Map of Blackhawk

About this map

Piedmont Butte stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the transition from the high plains into the eastern front of the Black Hills National Forest. This 2015 survey documents the suburban expansion of the northern Rapid City area, where modern residential developments like Summerset and Blackhawk are mapped in detail alongside older topographical features. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage systems, including Stagebarn Canyon and Wards Canyon, which channel seasonal water toward Elk Creek and Boxelder Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of the Blackhawk Cem and the complex network of established roads such as Sturgis Rd and Peaceful Pines Rd that connect these growing communities across the Meade and Pennington county line.
