2017 Map of Hayward

About this map

Hayward sits at the northern edge of this terrain, where the rugged topography of the Black Hills National Forest is carved by a network of creeks and gulches. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Battle Creek and the winding course of Grace Coolidge Creek, which cuts through the southern half of the map. Named features like Lakota Peak, Whiskey Gulch, and Deadman Gulch reflect the frontier character of this portion of South Dakota, where the boundary between Pennington County and Custer County divides the territory. A complex system of forest roads and trails, such as Borglum Rd and Triple M Ranch Rd, provides access to the interior, illustrating how the modern road network has adapted to the steep ridges and deep valleys like Bear Gulch and the high clearing of Round Park.
