2015 Map of Rapid City NW

About this map

Ashland Heights and the northern outskirts of Rapid City anchor the southern portion of this 2015 survey, where the prairie begins to transition toward the Black Hills. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Boxelder Creek and Elk Creek, which cut through the high plains. While the southern sections show modern residential expansion near Box Elder, the northern reaches remain primarily rural, marked by long section roads like Elk Creek Rd and 218th St. One of the most significant local landmarks is the Elk Vale Cem, situated along Elk Creek Rd as it crosses the northern township line. This map captures the specific boundary between Meade Co and Pennington Co, illustrating how the suburban growth of the Rapid City area meets the agricultural tradition of the surrounding creeks, including Dry Creek and Morris Creek.
