2012 Map of Hot Springs

About this map

Battle Mountain and the Seven Sisters Range dominate this landscape, where the town center is shaped by the confluence of Cold Brook Canyon and Hot Brook Canyon. The geography reflects a significant military and veteran presence, anchored by the South Dakota State Soldiers Home and the Hot Springs National Cemetery on the northern edge of the settlement. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the reservoirs at Cold Brook Lake and Larive Lake, which feed into the Fall River as it winds southeast toward Dudley Canyon. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Big Flat plateau and the broader drainage of the Cheyenne River. Transportation routes like Skyline Drive and the local junction at Maverick Junction connect these various canyons and ridges, while the Flying T Airport provides small-scale aviation access to this isolated corner of Fall River County.
