About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of the Black Hills National Forest in this 2017 survey of Fall River County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages that have carved deep into the terrain, creating named landmarks such as Wolf Canyon, Hell Canyon, and Devil Canyon. These features demonstrate the erosive power of seasonal water moving toward the river basin, shaping the ridges and valleys of this high-plains environment. High points like Chilson Mtn and Flint Hill provide topographical contrast to the neighboring canyons.

Transportation through this part of the Black Hills relies on a mix of maintained corridors and legacy paths, including Old Hwy 18 and Rocky Ford Rd. Remote drainages like Deadhorse Canyon and Brady Canyon reflect the localized naming conventions of early settlers and ranchers in this corner of South Dakota. The survey also captures the intersection of public forest lands and private parcels, indicated by the detailed section lines and varied road networks like Co Hwy 11.
