About this map

Capitol Peak and the surrounding heights of the Black Hills dominate this high-elevation landscape, anchored by the Capitol Peak Lookout at the summit. The area is defined by a dense network of forest roads like Cedar Creek Rd and various Capitol Frst routes that navigate the complex drainage systems of the North Fork Porter Creek and South Fork Porter Creek.

Logging and recreational access are central to the land use here, with established sites such as the Wedekind Picnic Area and several remote campgrounds, including Fall Creek Campground and North Creek Campground. The map traces the transition from the steep slopes of Larch Mountain and Fuzzy Top down into the narrow riparian corridors of Sherman Valley and Lost Valley, showing the intersection of natural drainage and forest management in the early 21st century.
