About this map

Belle Fourche River winds through the southeastern corner of this Crook County landscape, defining the local drainage system alongside Whitetail Creek and Sourdough Creek. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and drainages, most notably the Goldie Divide and the elevation of Moore Hill itself. Small-scale rural infrastructure is evident through the presence of multiple remote well sites, a Landing Strip, and several isolated Cem locations which hint at the region's dispersed settlement history.

Erosion has carved deep landmarks such as Barnard Canyon and Moore Canyon, while the northern reaches are overlooked by Bay Mtn. The map records specific water features critical to high-plains land use, including a Flowing Well and numerous springs scattered across the hills. This provisional survey captures the area during the early 1980s, documenting a landscape primarily shaped by ranching and topography.
