About this map

Rapid City boundaries reach into the northern portion of this South Dakota landscape, where the urban edge meets the complex drainages of the Black Hills foothills. The terrain is defined by a network of named canyons and draws, including Moonshine Canyon, Prairie Chicken Draw, and Walt Smith Canyon, illustrating a topography shaped by intermittent water flow. Road networks such as Old Folsom Rd and Daughenbaugh Rd connect scattered points of interest like the small settlement of Ajax and the prominent Potato Butte. These landmarks, along with Brennan Hill and Gobbler Knob, provide clear navigational anchors across a region where ranching and rural residential development intersect with the seasonal courses of Spring Creek and Dry Creek.
