Also, please contact me if you find any errors or have a map that has not been included in the cartobibliography ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the process of compiling this work, I have met many dedicated cartographers, Forest Service staff, academic and public librarians, archivists, and entrepreneurs. I first would like to acknowledge the gracious assistance of Bob Malcolm Super- visory Cartographer of Region 2 in Golden, Colorado who opened up the Region’s archive of maps and atlases to me in November of 2005. Also, I am indebted to long-time map librarians Christopher Thiry, Janet Collins, Donna Koepp, and Stanley Stevens for their early encouragement and consistent support of this project. In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site. The Scholar in Resi- dence program of the Grey Towers Heritage Association allowed me time to write and edit my research on the mapping of the National Forest System in an office in Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home.

  • Early Ford V8 Club Proposed Tour Black Hills South Dakota
    Early Ford V8 Club Proposed Tour Black Hills South Dakota Tour hosted by the Eastern South Dakota Early Ford V8 Club #166. The tour is designed to be five days in mid-September covering about 500 miles in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. The Black Hills are a small mountain range in western South Dakota and extending into Wyoming. The name "Black Hills" is a translation of the Lakota Pahá Sápa. The hills were so- called because of their dark appearance from a distance, as they were covered in trees. The Black Hills can be divided into two areas: "The Southern Hills" and "The Northern Hills". The Southern Hills is home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Needles Highway (a national scenic byway), Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Harney Peak (the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies), Custer State Park (the largest state park in South Dakota, and one of the largest in the US), the Crazy Horse Memorial (the largest sculpture in the world), and the Mammoth site in Hot Springs (the world’s largest mammoth research facility). Attractions in the Northern Hills include Spearfish Canyon (a national scenic byway), historic Deadwood, Fort Meade (it was here that the "Star Spangled Banner" first became the official music for the military, long before it became the National Anthem) and Sturgis (home of the world famous motorcycle rally first held in 1938). Plus Devils Tower National Monument, located in Wyoming, the United States’ first national monument. Registration day, welcome mixer and dinner. -Sturgis, SD sits on the borderlands between the Black Hills and the prairie.

  • Scott Olson Rapid City SD [email protected] the Lake
    Scott Olson Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: The lake is meant to be a peaceful retreat from fast moving boats, jet skis, and other fast watercraft. It's the only lake I can be on most weekends with my inflatable pontoon and not get pushed around by recreational boaters. The solitude and peacefulness is a big reason I go there and others would agree that it needs to stay that way. There are plenty of other large lakes that recreational boat users can go to. Let's continue to keep Deerfield as a no-wake lake. Jason Himrich Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: Us kayak fishermen would hate to lose the opportunity to easily traverse the lake without fear of colliding with a boat. Also, the Black Hills is growing daily. To lose a peaceful lake would be a blow to everyone who lives here. John Schmeltzer Whitewood SD [email protected] Comment: Please leave the no-wake restriction in place Kathryn Johnson Hill City SD [email protected] Comment: Currently Deerfield Lake is the only lake of substantial size that with no-wake restriction. All other no-wake lakes in the Black Hills are tiny by comparison. The non-motorized boaters in the are need a lake of some size such as Deerfield to enjoy quiet calm recreation. Motor boats have Sheridan and Pactola. David Whitney Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: I'm writing in support of maintaining the no-wake restriction at Deerfield Lake. It is my contention that there is no compelling reason to disturb the peace and quiet of the lake and surrounding area (which I also enjoy) when other more accessible bodies of water are open to motorboats, jet skis and the like.
