About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this 1980s landscape, where a network of water sources and high ridges defines the local geography. The central drainage of Moskee Creek flows through the heart of the area, flanked by prominent features like Grand Canyon and Schoolhouse Gulch. Significant topographic landmarks such as Black Buttes and the Williams-Sunrise Divide provide natural boundaries across the terrain, while numerous springs—including Lehner Spring, Dain Spring, and Katan Spring—point to the essential water management of the region.

Evidence of ranching and early land use is scattered throughout the hills, most notably at Reynolds Ranch and Kanath Ranch. These sites, along with several named gulches and draws such as Calvert-Sacket Draw and Adams Gulch, highlight a landscape of remote habitation and resource extraction. The map also records early water infrastructure like the North Adams Res, illustrating how the high country of Crook County was utilized in the late twentieth century.
