2021 Map of Fort Meade

About this map

Bear Butte rises as the central landmark of this Meade County landscape, surrounded by a network of contemporary trails and ranching infrastructure. The area is defined by the intersection of high plains terrain and historical military and civic sites, notably the Fort Meade National Cem and the Bear Butte Cem located near the edge of Sturgis. The map details a transition from the urban grid of Sturgis, including streets like Lazelle St and Main St, to the rural expanse of the Black Hills foothills. Hydrological features such as Bear Butte Lake and the winding Bear Butte Cr draw the eye toward the legendary Buffalo Chip site. Aviation interest is marked by several local landing strips, including Bruch Airfield and the Sturgis Municipal Airport, illustrating the modern aerial accessibility of this famed South Dakota region.
