About this map

The high ridges of the Black Hills National Forest dominate this borderland landscape where Wyoming meets South Dakota. Centered on the prominence of Fanny Peak and nearby Frannie Peak, the terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Boles Canyon and Gillette Canyon. The presence of several named water sources such as Roby Spring, Side Camp Spring, and Pegse Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water in this semi-arid highland environment.

Evidence of ranching and land management is visible through features like the Spencer Number 2 Reservoir and a system of Forest Service roads including Fanny Peak Br 1A and Roby Canyon Rd. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and draws, such as Fawcett Draw, Cedar Draw, and Jamie Lynn Dr, reflecting the area's history of private holdings within the larger forest preserve. The distinct northwest-to-southeast orientation of Whoopup Cr and Whoopup Canyon Rd provides a clear view of the natural corridors used for movement through the rugged topography of Weston County and its neighbors.
