2012 Map of Hermosa NE

About this map

Spring Cr and Antelope Cr define the hydrological character of this Pennington County landscape, cutting through the terrain alongside the smaller drainage of Dry Cr. The map captures a transition in the rural infrastructure of the Black Hills foothills during the early twenty-first century, where established routes like Bradsky Rd and Antelope Creek Rd provide the primary access through the plains. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the course of Spring Cr, which is paralleled by Lower Spring Creek Rd and intersected by more recent developments such as Marge Ct and Dewey Ln. This alignment of watercourses and roads reflects the enduring importance of natural drainages in guiding the development of the local transportation network in western South Dakota.
