2015 Map of Piedmont

About this map

Piedmont and the growing community of Summerset anchor the eastern edge of this landscape, where the prairie meets the rising slopes of the Black Hills National Forest. The map detail captures a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Stagebarn Canyon, Erskine Gulch, and Chimney Canyon, which define the drainage patterns toward the plains. To the west, the winding Centennial Trail follows the high ground near Dalton Lake, while the southern reaches are marked by the convergence of the three branches of Bogus Jim Creek—N Bogus Jim Cr, Middle Bogus Jim Cr, and Bogus Jim Cr. Cultural landmarks such as Paradise Valley Airport and geological features like Steamboat Rock and Custer Gap illustrate how the terrain has dictated human transit and settlement. The inclusion of sites like Red Gate and White Gate provides specific points of interest for those tracing land use and property boundaries in this part of Meade County.
