About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this 2015 survey, covering the complex terrain of the Lawrence and Meade County border. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with prominent peaks like Deadman Mtn and Flagstaff Mtn rising above a dense network of gulches. This area serves as a critical watershed, evidenced by the Sturgis Reservoirs and the winding course of Elk Cr and Bear Butte Cr.

Transport through these mountain corridors is facilitated by routes such as Vanocker Canyon Rd and Elk Creek Rd, which navigate the steep elevations near Kirk Hill and Little Elk Canyon. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, from the northern Lost Gulch to the southern Virkula Gulch, illustrating how the physical geography dictated the placement of early forest service roads and local trails.
