1984 Map of Stoney Point

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land defines the rugged southwestern portion of this Crook County landscape, dominated by the Bear Lodge Mountains. The terrain transitions from the high elevations at Stoney Point and Windy Point into a complex network of drainages and industrial sites. In the north, numerous Clay Pits and scattered Clay Pit excavations indicate a localized extractive industry, likely tied to the region's geological deposits. Water resources are central to the map's layout, featuring the Belle Fourche Creek in the northwest and a system of intermittent draws and gulches such as Three Bear Gulch and Christofferson Draw. The presence of an Artesian Well and a Flowing Well suggests the importance of groundwater management in this arid stretch of Wyoming ranch and forest land during the early 1980s.
