About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this section of the southwestern Black Hills, characterized by a complex network of drainages and high plateaus. The terrain is deeply incised by significant geomorphic features such as Red Canyon, Coal Canyon, and Craven Canyon, which transition toward the southern plains. These canyons served as vital corridors for early travel, evidenced by the modern Red Canyon Rd following the natural floor of its namesake canyon. A Stone Quarry located near the southern edge indicates localized industrial activity amid the wilderness. Higher elevations include Robinson Flats and the prominent Pilger Mountain Rd, while the hydrography is defined by ephemeral reaches like Driftwood Cr and Hawkright Cr. This landscape reflects the intersection of federal forest management and the traditional ranching and resource extraction typical of the Custer and Fall River county line area.
