2015 Map of Deerfield

About this map

Deerfield Lake serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape within the Black Hills National Forest. The settlement of Deerfield is positioned along the western edge of the reservoir, where Castle Creek enters the basin. This area is characterized by a complex network of draws, gulches, and springs, including Maitland Spring and Taylor Spring, which provide vital water sources in this elevated environment. Prominent topographical landmarks such as Whitetail Peak, Nipple Butte, and Castle Rock rise above the surrounding terrain, while Reynolds Prairie offers a localized expanse of open ground. The map details an extensive system of forest roads and trails, such as the Whitetail Loop and the N Shore Trail Head, illustrating the modern recreational and resource management infrastructure of the Black Hills.
