About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates the eastern half of this terrain where the border of Wyoming and South Dakota meets. The transition from the high, wooded slopes of the Elk Mountains down into the drainage of Beaver Cr defines the local geography. Small settlements like Dewey and Dakoming are connected by a network of rural routes, including Old Highway 85 and Dewey Rd, which trace the path of earlier transit corridors through the valley floors.

Strategic landmarks such as Clifton Gap and Wyoming Hill overlook the dissected landscape, while reliable water sources like Carr Spring and Baltzly Spring suggest the importance of the land for ranching and forest management. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system where Weston and Custer counties intersect, highlighting natural features like Twin Buttes and the steep walls of Plum Canyon.
