About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates the eastern half of this Crook County landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into a series of prominent peaks and ridges. High points such as Hooker Peak, Fish Mtn, and Iron Mtn overlook a complex network of drainages, including the headwaters of Silver Cr and Boardinghouse Cr. The western portion transitions into broader ranching or grazing lands, marked by features like Black Flats and the distinctively named Lime Buttes and Gypsum Buttes.

Human presence is defined by isolated landmarks and a system of local roads and cattle branches. The Inyan Kara Cem serves as a significant genealogical anchor near the southern boundary, while family-named features like Adams Canyon and Duling Hill reflect the history of local landholders. Narrow routes like Adams Branch 1B and Kunath Branch 5 wind through the canyons, providing access to remote springs including Bear Den Spring and Boardinghouse Spring.
