About this map

Nemo sits at the intersection of several significant drainages and forest roads within the Black Hills National Forest, serving as a central hub for this portion of the Lawrence County landscape. The settlement pattern follows the winding course of Boxelder Cr and Nemo Rd, connecting smaller outposts like Novak and Tomahawk. To the west, Benchmark and Greenwood occupy the high ground between Hay Cr and the Boxelder valley, reflecting the area's history of isolated forest settlements and mountain camps.

Terrain features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, with named peaks such as Crystal Mtn, Merritt Peak, and Pilot Knob rising above a complex network of draws and gulches. The southern edge of the map transition into Pennington County near Merritt, where Jim Cr and Jenney Gulch dominate the topography. This survey provides a clear view of the forest infrastructure, including specialized routes like Experimental Rd 4 and Lucky Strike Rd.
