2017 Map of Mount Coolidge

About this map

Black Hills National Forest and Wind Cave National Park converge in this high-altitude landscape of Custer County, dominated by the peak of Mt Coolidge. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages, including French Cr and the various branches of N Fork Lame Johnny Cr, which carve through deep formations like Gordon Canyon and Red Canyon. The small settlement of Blue Bell serves as a central point for a network of forest and park roads such as Wildlife Loop Rd and Lame Johnny Rd. The southern portion of the sheet highlights the transition into the protected cave lands, featuring landmarks like Rankin Ridge and Highland Cr. These topographic details illustrate the complex boundary between managed forest and national park land, showing the essential infrastructure used for wildfire management and conservation access.
