About this map

Hill City sits at the heart of the Black Hills National Forest, where the intersection of E Main St and Rochford Road serves as a central hub for the surrounding gulches and peaks. This 2015 topography illustrates a landscape defined by its mining and timber heritage, with numerous drainage features such as China Gulch and Black Miner Gulch pointing to the area's extraction history. Nearby, Major Lake and the smaller Mitchell Lake provide water resources amidst the high-elevation terrain of Bishop Mtn and Storm Hill.

The map details several residential pockets and smaller localities, including Newton Park to the northwest and Kennedyville to the east. Notable landmarks like Flag Mtn and Summit Peak anchor the local geography, while the intricate network of forest roads and trails, such as Gertie Rd and Watson Parker Rd, reveal how the region is navigated. The survey also captures the various branches of Burnt Fork and Spring Cr, which carve through the hillsides near Sunday Gulch and Dead Broke Br.
