About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where steep ridges and deep drainages form a complex geography. The high ground is marked by prominent summits including Hooker Peak, Iron Mtn, and the namesake Duling Hill. These peaks rise above canyons and draws such as Adams Canyon and Duling Canyon, while named water sources like Fish Canyon Spring and Boardinghouse Spring suggest the critical importance of water access in this high-elevation landscape.

Outside the forest boundary to the west, the land transitions into a more open basin character featuring Lime Buttes, Gypsum Buttes, and the broad expanse of Black Flats. The presence of the Inyan Kara Cem near the southern border, adjacent to the Sundance-Inyan Kara Rd, provides a vital anchor for family historians. This area, bisected by Beaver Cr and Silver Cr, reflects a landscape defined by ranching access roads and topographic landmarks rather than dense urban centers.
