2021 Map of Deadwood North

About this map

Deadwood and the northern reaches of the Black Hills National Forest anchor this landscape, where the town's urban grid transitions into the steep terrain of Spruce Gulch and Slaughterhouse Gulch. Several historic burial sites, including the notable Mount Moriah Cem and Saint Ambrose Cem, offer significant genealogical value for those tracing the families of the gold-mining era. The map follows the northeasterly course of Whitewood Creek as it moves toward the settlements of Crook City and Whitewood, reflecting the late-nineteenth-century pattern of development along water and rail corridors. High points such as Elkhorn Peak and White Rocks dominate the local horizon, while features like Mountain Meadow and Centennial Prairie indicate the scattered agricultural and open-space clearances within the dense forest. This topographic study clarifies the spatial relationship between the early mining hub and the surrounding ranching and transport networks along US Highway 14A.
