About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high country of the Wyoming-South Dakota border is defined by a dense network of water sources and steep drainages. The small settlement of Buckhorn serves as a focal point near the southern edge, while the remote Black Hills State College (Hardy Campus) is situated within the complex terrain of the northern interior.

This 1980s field check records a series of prominent topographic landmarks including Laird Peak and O'Neil Pass, alongside numerous named springs such as Michelson Spring, Hain Spring, and Scott-Hardy Spring that feed into Spearfish Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology and land management boundaries where multiple counties—including Weston, Crook, and Lawrence—intersect across the Black Hills Meridian.
