2021 Map of Jewel Cave NW

About this map

Sallee Ranch sits at the heart of this landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the western Black Hills. This area, managed largely as part of the Black Hills National Forest, is defined by a dense network of deep draws and canyons, including Gillette Canyon, Hell Canyon, and Tepee Canyon. The northwestern portion of Jewel Cave National Monument is visible on the eastern edge, highlighting the region's geological significance. Local infrastructure is concentrated around residential developments like Custer Highland Rd, while numerous remote water sources such as Jumpoff Spring, Baldwin Spring, and Sawmill Spring dot the backcountry. The map also records unique local landmarks like the White Stake and topographic features such as Phone Line Ridge, reflecting the practical naming conventions of ranching and forestry management.
