2021 Map of Pringle

About this map

Pringle and the surrounding southern Black Hills are depicted here during a period of modern recreational and conservation management. This landscape is defined by the transition from the settlement at Pringle to the protected boundaries of Wind Cave National Park and the Black Hills National Forest. The map detail highlights an intricate network of forest roads and canyons, including Shirt Tail Canyon and Wildcat Canyon, alongside the repurposed route of the George S. Mickelson Trl. Numerous water sources like Rifle Pit Spring and Witch Spring suggest the historical importance of water for early ranching and mining operations, such as the Rifle Pit located east of the main town site. High points like Elk Knob and the Twin Sisters Range offer significant topography within the national park territory.
