About this map

Hayward sits at the northern edge of this terrain, where the rugged topography of the Black Hills National Forest begins to dominate. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named gulches, including Whiskey Gulch, Bear Gulch, and Deadman Gulch, which cut through the steep elevations. Significant watercourses such as Spokane Cr and Grace Coolidge Cr flow through the interior, while Lakota Peak provides a prominent landmark to the northeast.

A complex grid of access routes, such as Iron Mountain Rd and Ghost Canyon Rd, indicates a mix of forest management and residential development. The boundary between Pennington Co and Custer Co bisects the map, illustrating how local jurisdictions manage this mountainous territory. This document provides a clear look at the intersection of public forest lands and small-scale settlement patterns in the mid-2010s.
