About this map

Black Hills National Forest straddles the border of Wyoming and South Dakota, where the drainage of Stockade Beaver Creek carves a series of deep ravines into the limestone plateaus. This 1984 provisional survey documents a landscape of intermittent water and remote outposts, centered on Mallo Camp near the state line. The terrain is defined by its canyons, from the winding Parmlee Canyon to the more open Prairie Springs Canyon to the west.

Hydrology is the dominant feature of this arid high country, evidenced by numerous named water sources such as Slicker Dick Spring, State Line Spring, and Twin Springs. The map also captures remnants of local industry and topography, including a Quarry and the broad, high elevations of the Bald Hills. These labels provide essential context for researchers tracing old cattle routes or forest service history along the Weston and Pennington county line.
