2012 Map of Cicero Peak

About this map

Cicero Peak dominates this section of the Black Hills, serving as a central point for a landscape defined by ranching homesteads and mountain drainage systems. Small settlements and family holdings like Nihart, Sutherland Ranch, and Tanner Ranch are scattered along the valley floors, particularly near Beaver Cr and Flynn Cr. The presence of Nihart Spring and Sutherland Spring highlights the critical importance of water sources for these upland operations. To the north, the terrain transitions into a more recreational character near Lake of the Pines and the Hazelrodt Summer Homes. The road network, including the Hazelrodt Cutoff and Sidney Park Rd, follows the natural contours of the ridges and canyons, such as Haven Canyon, connecting these isolated western South Dakota outposts.
