2021 Map of Nemo

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this high-elevation landscape in South Dakota, characterized by a complex network of forest roads and historical small settlements. The community of Nemo sits near the eastern edge, accompanied by the Nemo Cem, while other small locales such as Merritt, Benchmark, and Greenwood are distributed along the drainages. The terrain is defined by prominent high points including Pilot Knob and Crystal Mtn, alongside named draws like Wilson Draw and Gingrass Draw. The hydrology is primarily shaped by the branches of Boxelder Cr and Estes Cr. Evidence of land management and habitation is visible through named landmarks like the White Mansion and numerous numbered forest service trails such as the Benchmark 8575 Trl, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to both recreation and the timber industry.
