About this map

Colony sits in the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the Belle Fourche River winds through the high plains of Crook County. The region is defined by its water management and industrial infrastructure, notably the network of reservoirs such as Kruger Lake, Kilpatrick Reservoir, and Deep Cr Reservoir. These features, along with the Christofferson Dam, suggest a landscape adapted for livestock or industrial needs in an arid environment.

Heavy industry leaves its mark via the Bentonite Haul Rd, indicating the local importance of clay mining, while an Abandoned Rd near the river reflects shifts in local transit. The map records several named drainages including Bear Gulch, Chicago Cr, and Kilpatrick Cr, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns and land divisions of the northern Black Hills periphery during the early 21st century.
