About this map

Black Hills National Forest land defines this mid-century landscape in Pennington County, where high-altitude ranching and mineral exploration shaped the local geography. The area is characterized by a series of high-country ranches, including Hoar Ranch, Herman Matt Ranch, and Tony Matt Ranch, which established a human presence amidst the deep draws and timbered ridges. Industrial activity is visible through the Accidental Mine and Stan Penn Lode Mine, indicating the persistent search for gold and other minerals that historically drove the development of the Black Hills.
