About this map

Black Hills National Forest land defines this portion of Crook County, where the settlement of Moskee sits at the junction of several forest routes. The landscape is a network of named draws and divides, including the Williams-Surprise Divide and Plato Gulch, which channel drainage into watercourses like Red Canyon Cr and Cold Springs Cr.

The area is notably punctuated by numerous natural springs, such as Williams Spring, Katan Spring, and Buckley Spring, which likely served as vital water sources for early ranching and forestry operations. Named features like Schoolhouse Gulch and Rattlesnake Canyon suggest a history of localized naming by early inhabitants or surveyors. A complex system of forest roads, including Sundance-Moskee Rd and various numbered tracks like Moskee 134, provides evidence of the region's historical and ongoing use for timber management and access.
