2017 Map of Medicine Mountain

About this map

Tigerville stands as a focal point in this high-elevation portion of the Black Hills National Forest, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of timber roads and drainage systems. The terrain is marked by numerous significant peaks, including Medicine Mountain, Odakota Mountain, and Copper Mountain. This 2017 survey details the complex system of forest routes like Newton 06 and Newton 42 that thread through the gulches and draws. Water sources are critical in this environment, represented by the Little Thompson Draw Reservoir and the perennial flow of Newton Fork. From the high grazing land of Gillette Prairie to the recesses of Reno Gulch, the map provides a look at modern forest management and topography in Pennington County. Researchers can trace the varied drainage basins, from White House Gulch to Bear Mountain Basin, which characterize this rugged segment of the Black Hills.
