1998 Map of Medicine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Medicine Mountain stands as a prominent geographic anchor within the Black Hills National Forest, rising above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and high-altitude prairies. This topography, based on data compiled in the mid-20th century and verified through the 1990s, reveals the scattered nature of human settlement in this part of Pennington County. The presence of the South Slate Sch and Medicine Mtn Ranch suggests a community oriented around ranching and rural education, while the small settlement of Tigerville sits near the confluence of Newton Fork. The map documents a rugged drainage system where Slate Creek and Spring Creek carve through the terrain, flanked by peaks such as Copper Mountain and Odakota Mountain. Local landmarks like Gillette Prairie and several named gulches, including Reno Gulch and Whitehorse Gulch, provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use in the Black Hills.
