About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this section of the Black Hills along the border of Pennington and Custer counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Battle Creek and Spokane Creek carve through the terrain, joined by the namesake waters of Grace Coolidge Creek. High points like Lakota Peak overlook a network of named canyons and ravines, including the ominously named Deadman Gulch and Whiskey Gulch.

A complex infrastructure of Forest Service and county roads, such as Battle Creek Rd and the Roach Br 2b (T-349) system, provides access to more remote locations like Round Park and Horseshoe Spr. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern management of these public lands, showing how contemporary trail systems like the Haugan Trl and Outback Trl interface with established forest boundaries and local creek valleys.
