About this map

Sundance sits at the base of the Bear Lodge Mountains within the Black Hills National Forest, where high-elevation peaks like Warren Peaks and Ragged Top dominate the skyline. This 2015 record shows the transition from the town's grid to the winding forest roads and canyons that define the local topography. Local history is etched into the landscape through names like Mount Moriah Cem, while the town's western reaches follow the contours of Sundance Mtn and Mount Moriah.

The map reveals a landscape heavily influenced by both natural drainage and human industry. Waterways such as S Redwater Cr and Houston Cr flow through deeply incised features like Reuter Canyon and Jim Wayne Canyon. Evidence of the region's extraction and ranching history appears in labels such as Coal Mine Hill, Belshe Mine Rd, and Bearlodge Ranch Rd. Cultural touchpoints are also present, with the Wild Bunch Trl and Butch Cassidy St nodding to the area's frontier heritage.
