About this map

Spearfish serves as the gateway to the northern Hills, centered near the junction of Spearfish Creek and Spring Creek. The landscape transitions from the developed streets around Black Hills State University and the Black Hills Airport-Clyde Ice Field to the steep, wooded topography of the Black Hills National Forest. Notable elevations like Lookout Peak and Spearfish Peak overlook a terrain carved by numerous drainages, including the prominent Spearfish Canyon and the winding course of False Bottom Creek.

South of the city, the map documents the smaller settlements of Maitland and Carbonate, tucked within a complex system of gulches such as Paradise Gulch and Blacktail Gulch. This 2015 survey details the modern road network, from local thoroughfares like East Jackson Boulevard to the rural tracks leading toward Mt Theodore Roosevelt and Polo Peak, illustrating the enduring relationship between the community and the surrounding timberland and peaks.
