2017 Map of Wind Cave

About this map

Wind Cave National Park defines this landscape in the southern Black Hills, where a network of canyons and ridges creates a complex topographical system. This 2017 survey shows the protected area's varied terrain, from the high elevation of Elk Mtn and Rankin Ridge to the broad expanse of Bison Flats. The park's infrastructure is marked by features like the Pigtail Bridge and several service roads that navigate the difficult geography. Waterways such as Beaver Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Cold Spring Cr carve through the limestone, feeding into Norbeck Lake. The map details numerous named canyons including Gobbler Canyon, Limestone Canyon, and Prairie Dog Canyon, illustrating the deep erosion patterns characteristic of the Custer County region. This modern edition serves as a precise guide to the surface features above one of the world's longest caves.
