2012 Map of Hayward

About this map

Hayward sits at the northern edge of this Black Hills landscape, where the confluence of Iron Cr and Battle Cr dictates the local geography. The area's settlement pattern is defined by winding canyon roads and steep ridges, with a local Sch and residential clusters like Skyline Hts indicating a community integrated into the terrain. The map is notably marked by evocative local place names that hint at the region's prospecting and ranching history, including Whiskey Gulch, Deadman Gulch, and Bear Gulch. These drainage features, along with Spokane Cr and Grace Coolidge Cr, carve through the land between prominent heights like Lakota Peak. The extensive network of forest roads and trails, such as Ghost Canyon Rd and the Porker Loop, suggests a landscape used for both resource management and rural navigation in the early 21st century.
