About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this South Dakota landscape, creating a geographic divide between the Black Hills National Forest to the north and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland to the south. The city of Edgemont serves as the central hub, situated near the transition from river plains to the steeper terrain of Breakneck Hill and Stone Quarry Canyon. This 2015 survey details the local infrastructure, from the Edgemont Municipal Airport to the George S Mickelson Trl, which follows the path of former rail transport through the valley.

Small settlements and rural waypoints like Dudley and Dennis are noted alongside local history markers such as the Edgemont Cem. The drainage network, including Red Canyon Cr and Cottonwood Cr, illustrates how water shaped the accessibility of the region. This modern topographic record captures a community defined by its proximity to federally protected lands and its reliance on the river corridor for both transit and agriculture.
