About this map

The Redwater River and Spearfish Cr define the water-rich landscape of this South Dakota region near the northern reaches of the Black Hills. An intricate network of historic water management features is evident, including the Thompson Ditch, Cook Ditch, and Herber Ditch, which speak to the area's agricultural development. The terrain transitions from the open water of Cox Lake and Mud Lake into deeper relief at Big Canyon and Higgins Gulch.

Expansion around Spearfish is visible through the dense road network including Westview Ln and Vista Hills Pl. The map captures the boundary between Butte and Lawrence counties and the southern edge of Belle Fourche. Local genealogy is supported by the inclusion of family-named landmarks such as Johnston Gulch and Bryan Ranch Ln, alongside historical thoroughfares like West Highway 14 and Homestake Rd.
