2012 Map of Tinton

About this map

Tinton and Beaver Crossing anchor this high-elevation landscape on the South Dakota-Wyoming border, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of ridges and drainages. The area is marked by a deep ranching history, evidenced by Ranch A, C Nicholas Ranch, and the Miller Ranch. The mapping reveals a rugged system of forestry and access roads like Beaver Creek Rd and Boundary Gulch Rd that navigate the slopes of Grandview Hill and Sunshine Hill. A significant concentration of springs, including Knight Spring, Thompson Spring, and Nelson Spring, suggests the vital role of water management in this arid mountain environment. Local landmarks such as The Needles and the isolated Bear Gulch Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking the settlement patterns of Lawrence County and the surrounding Black Hills region.
