2017 Map of Blackhawk

About this map

The eastern foothills of the Black Hills National Forest define this landscape along the Meade and Pennington county line. The map highlights a corridor of growing communities including Piedmont, Summerset, and Blackhawk, all situated along the valley floor. The geography is characterized by distinct landforms such as Piedmont Butte and the winding depths of Stagebarn Canyon and Wards Canyon. Local waterways like Elk Creek, Blackhawk Creek, and Boxelder Creek cut through the terrain, influencing the layout of residential developments and historic routes like Sturgis Road. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest like the Blackhawk Cemetery, which provides a focal point for researchers studying the families of these Black Hills settlements.
