2012 Map of Savoy

About this map

Savoy serves as a central hub in this high-elevation landscape, where the confluence of Spearfish Cr and Little Spearfish Cr creates a dramatic series of cataracts including Roughlock Falls and Spearfish Falls. The topography is defined by deeply cut gulches and high summits such as Ragged Top Mountain and Elk Mountain, which rise above the extensive Limestone Plateau. This 2012 survey illustrates a region heavily shaped by outdoor recreation and forest management, evidenced by the numerous campgrounds like Rod and Gun Campground and an intricate network of timber-access roads, including Timber Gulch Rd and its many branches. Settlements like Elmore and Preston sit along the creek valleys, while more remote features like What the Hell Spring and Dead Ox Cr speak to the area's colorful local nomenclature. To the northwest, Iron Creek Lake provides a notable water landmark amidst the narrow draws of Pettigrew Gulch and Calamity Gulch.
