About this map

The Black Hills National Forest straddles the high-altitude divide between South Dakota and Wyoming, a landscape defined by deep limestone canyons and isolated water sources. This 2021 survey documents the complex network of forest roads and trails that traverse the rugged borderlands of Pennington and Weston Counties. The western portion is dominated by the drainage of Stockade Beaver Cr, which feeds the Martin Thompson Reservoir near the Wyoming line.

High ridges such as Summit Ridge and the Sherwood-Kinney Divide separate the major canyon systems, including Boles Canyon and Kinney Canyon. For researchers of land use and forestry, the map identifies critical water points like Summit Spring, Antelope Springs, and Sherwood Spring, essential for both wildlife and early livestock management in this arid timberland. The presence of named trails like the Mud Puppy Trl and Grizzly Trl reflects the contemporary recreational use of these historical forest tracts.
