2012 Map of Silver City

About this map

Silver City sits at the heart of this topographical study, where Rapid Cr flows into the expansive Pactola Reservoir. The landscape is defined by its gold-mining heritage, evidenced by the dense network of gulches and draws such as Nugget Gulch, Gorman Gulch, and Boarding House Gulch. These features, alongside China Gulch, underscore the mineral prospecting history that shaped this section of Pennington County. High points like Scruton Mountain, home to the Bullock Lookout Tower, provide a vantage over the complex drainage systems of Slate Cr and Horse Cr.
