2015 Map of Jolly

About this map

The Spearfish and Belle Fourche borderlands in western South Dakota are defined here by a mix of agricultural valley floors and rising ridges. The Redwater River and Concordia Ditch trace the lower elevations, where water management has long supported local ranching and farming operations. To the south, the landscape climbs toward the prominent Lookout Mountain Rd and Paradise Ridge Rd, marking the transition into the rugged topography of the Black Hills foothills. Settlement patterns are concentrated near the outskirts of Spearfish, with numerous named residential lanes and historical landmarks like Jolly and the Jolly Dump. The map also captures the flow of Spearfish Cr and False Bottom Cr, which drain the higher ground toward the valley floor, alongside the complex network of rural roads such as Wagon Box Dr and Old Belle Rd that connect these high-plains communities.
