About this map

Black Hills National Forest land defines this corner of South Dakota, where the Custer and Fall River county lines meet. The terrain is a complex system of drainage and relief, marked by prominent features like Barker Dome and the expansive Robinson Flats. The landscape is carved by numerous deep draws and canyons, including Red Canyon, Driftwood Canyon, and the appropriately named Stone Quarry Canyon.

Transportation through this portion of the Black Hills is facilitated by a network of forest roads and county highways, such as Pilger Mountain Rd and Red Canyon Rd. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, navigating around Coal Ridge and crossing seasonal watercourses like Frankwright Cr and Driftwood Cr. The map captures a moment in the modern management of these public lands, showing the intersection of natural topography and the infrastructure required to access it.
