2012 Map of Nemo

About this map

The settlement of Nemo serves as a primary hub in this Black Hills landscape, where the confluence of Estes Creek and Boxelder Creek dictates the local geography. The map reveals a transition between rural residential pockets and Forest Service lands, with clusters of development at Novak, Tomahawk, and the South Boxelder Summer Home Group. This 2012 survey illustrates a complex network of forest roads and trails, such as Nemo Road and Lucky Strike Road, which provide access to high-elevation points like Crystal Mountain and Pilot Knob. Significant recreational and residential features are present, including the Box Elder Forks Campground and small clusters of homes at Benchmark and Merritt. The drainage patterns of the various forks of Estes Creek and Jim Creek define the ridges and draws, highlighting the intricate topography surrounding Greenwood and Buck Mountain.
