1998 Map of Nemo

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the 1998 terrain reflects a century of mining and rural settlement near the boundary of Lawrence and Pennington counties. The small community of Nemo is positioned near Richard Draw, while historical industry is noted at the Lucky Strike Mine to the northwest. High points like Crystal Mountain and Pilot Knob overlook a complex network of drainages, including Boxelder Creek and Jim Creek. Local civic life is anchored by the Hillside Sch, and smaller named locales such as Merritt, Novak, and Greenwood appear alongside family-named landmarks like White Mansion. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns through numerous draws such as Wilson Draw and Green Draw, illustrating how the mountainous topography shaped road and ranch placement in this portion of the Black Hills.
