About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates this borderland geography where Wyoming's Weston County meets South Dakota's Pennington County. The landscape is defined by a series of deep drainages including Parmlee Canyon, which branches into Dry Parmlee Canyon and Wet Parmlee Canyon, alongside the prominent Bear Canyon and Brown Canyon. Water sources are scattered throughout this high terrain, marked by several named points such as Austin Spring, Freel Spring, and the curiously named Slicker Dick Spring.

Transportation through these hills relies on a network of forest roads and trails, including Purvis Rd and the Snow-11 Trl. Local history is anchored by the Boyd Cem located off Mallo Rd, providing a genealogical point of interest in an area otherwise characterized by timberland and the Bald Hills. The drainage of Beaver Cr and its various tributaries like Dry Beaver create a complex system of ridges and valleys that historically shaped movement through this rugged interstate corridor.
