About this map

Cascade Springs and the surrounding southern reaches of the Black Hills National Forest define this landscape where the Cheyenne River winds through a complex system of plateaus and canyons. The terrain transitions from the elevated heights of Flagpole Mtn and Roundtop Hill down into the broad alluvial expanses of Sorghum Flat and Coffee Flat. Water is a critical presence in this arid environment, evidenced by the thermal waters of the springs and the dramatic drop at Cascade Falls.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Highland Cem situated on a high bench overlooking Dick Canyon and Middle Canyon. The map details the rural settlement at Rocky Ford and the engineering of the Angostura Reservoir at the junction where Tepee Cr meets the main river channel. These features, along with named landmarks like Horseshoe Bend and Red Gulch, provide a clear picture of the early 21st-century topography in Fall River County.
