About this map

Devils Tower National Monument anchors this Wyoming survey, revealing the striking geography of the Devils Tower monolith and its immediate surroundings. The Belle Fourche River snakes through the center of the sheet, joined by seasonal drainages like Campstool Draw and Miller Creek. The terrain is defined by significant ridgelines, including Tower Divide and Butte Divide, which separate the river valley from the elevated plateaus of the Black Hills National Forest.

Local infrastructure in the mid-1980s is concentrated near the monument, with a Post Office, Campground, and hiking trails clearly marked for visitors. Further east, the small settlement of Lytle and a quiet Cem reflect the rural character of Crook County. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of a Gravel Pit, while the landscape is dotted with numerous water wells and springs, vital for life along the Brimmer Divide.
