T:8.375” Welcome to the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota! As you explore our fine state, I’m confident you’ll find some of the best scenery, most unique attractions and friendliest people in the country. Our scenic drives, such as Spearfish Canyon and the 70-mile Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway, will surprise you with amazing views around every corner. Just 50 miles east, you’ll find a moon-like landscape in Badlands National Park. If you need to stretch your legs, you’ll find more than 400 miles of nature walks and hikes. South Dakota is also home to two of the world’s largest Chad Coppess/South Dakota Dept. of Tourism mountain carvings: patriotic Mount Rushmore National Me- Governor Dennis Daugaard & First Lady Linda Daugaard morial and Crazy Horse Memorial, a tribute to Native Ameri- cans. I encourage you to visit both and learn the history and story behind each of these magnificent sculptures. I also encourage you to take a drive through Custer State Park, the country’s second largest state park, where wildlife abounds. Along Wildlife Loop Road, you’ll have a chance to see antelope, deer, prairie dogs, “beg- ging” burros and the park’s 1,300-member bison herd. In fact, Austin-Lehman Adventures named Custer State Park one of the world’s Top 10 Wildlife Destinations.

  • Proceedings of SDAS 1997
    Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science,Vol. 76 (1997) 119 THE ORIGIN OF WATERFALLS IN THE BLACK HILLS, SOUTH DAKOTA Charles Michael Ray and Perry H. Rahn South Dakota School of Mines and Technology ABSTRACT We studied the largest waterfalls in the Black Hills to better understand the geologic and hydrologic reasons for their existence. The waterfalls studied include: an unnamed falls on the Cheyenne River above Angostura Reservoir, “Big Falls” on Battle Creek below Keystone, “Bridal Veil Falls” on Rubicon Gulch along Spearfish Canyon, “Spearfish Falls” on Little Spearfish Creek near Savoy, “Roughlock Falls” on Little Spearfish Creek above Savoy, the waterfalls of Fall River below Hot Springs, and “Cascade Falls” on Cascade Creek. The geology of each waterfall was determined, their heights were measured, and cross sections were constructed. The discharge over each waterfall was ob- tained from USGS records; where no records were available the discharge was estimated. The waterfalls form in primarily two different ways. First, where more re- sistant rock units are exposed, this resistant ledge of rocks forms rapids and/or waterfalls. Thus a “knickpoint” is formed in the longitudinal stream profile. Second, some waterfalls form where calcareous-tufa is deposited in the stream bed. This usually happens below springs draining the Madison Limestone. The calc-tufa deposits typically accumulate within a mile below the spring, in a reach that already contains rapids. The rapids further encourage the outgassing of carbon dioxide, leading to the deposition of calcite and/or aragonite. Data compiled in this research may be used to help understand the geo- logic processes that created these waterfalls and help preserve them as aes- thetic resources for future generations.

  • Karst Features in the Black Hills, Wyoming and South Dakota- Prepared for the Karst Interest Group Workshop, September 2005
    193 INTRODUCTION TO THREE FIELD TRIP GUIDES: Karst Features in the Black Hills, Wyoming and South Dakota- Prepared for the Karst Interest Group Workshop, September 2005 By Jack B. Epstein1 and Larry D. Putnam2 1U.S. Geological Survey, National Center, MS 926A, Reston, VA 20192 2Hydrologist, U.S. Geological Survey, 1608 Mountain View Road, Rapid City, SD 57702. This years Karst Interest Group (KIG) field trips will demonstrate the varieties of karst to be seen in the semi-arid Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming, and will offer comparisons to karst seen in the two previous KIG trips in Florida (Tihansky and Knochenmus, 2001) and Virginia (Orndorff and Harlow, 2002) in the more humid eastern United States. The Black Hills comprise an irregularly shaped uplift, elongated in a northwest direction, and about 130 miles long and 60 miles wide (figure 1). Erosion, following tectonic uplift in the late Cretaceous, has exposed a core of Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks which are in turn rimmed by a series of sed- iments of Paleozoic and Mesozoic age which generally dip away from the center of the uplift. The homocli- nal dips are locally interrupted by monoclines, structural terraces, low-amplitude folds, faults, and igneous intrusions. These rocks are overlapped by Tertiary and Quaternary sediments and have been intruded by scattered Tertiary igneous rocks. The depositional environments of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimen- tary rocks ranged from shallow marine to near shore-terrestrial. Study of the various sandstones, shales, siltstones, dolomites and limestones indicate that these rocks were deposited in shallow marine environ- ments, tidal flats, sand dunes, carbonate platforms, and by rivers.
