About this map

Moore Hill and the surrounding high plains of Crook County are defined by a complex network of canyons and drainage systems feeding into the Belle Fourche River. The landscape is etched with landmarks named for early settlers and topographical features, such as Bush Canyon, Barnard Canyon, and Barlow Canyon. Local transit and ranching operations are supported by a grid of county routes, including Newhaven Rd and Co Rd 32, which weave through the draws and plateaus.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Moore Hill Cem and the remote Ipy Ranch Airport, which serves as a modern touchpoint in this traditionally agricultural region. Water management is evident through the presence of Louis Reservoir and various creeks like Sourdough Cr and Barlow Cr, illustrating how the land has been utilized for livestock and ranching. The topographical detail also highlights significant elevations such as Storm Hill and the distinctive Sawmill Gulch.
