About this map

Moon sits at the eastern edge of this 2017 survey, representing a remote settlement area within the Black Hills National Forest. The landscape is defined by a complex network of high ridges and deep canyons that straddle the Weston Co, Wyoming and Pennington Co, South Dakota border. Notable terrain features like Stots Ridge and the Sherwood-Kinney Divide separate the various drainages, including the prominent Stockade Beaver Cr.

Water sources are critical markers in this high-elevation environment, with labels indicating numerous springs such as Antelope Springs, Rudenvale Spring, and Sherwood Spring. The Martin Thompson Reservoir provides a significant reference point for those studying the hydrology and land use patterns of the Black Hills. The map also traces established Forest Service routes like Boles Canyon Rd and Summit Ridge Rd, which follow the natural contours of the divide.
