| Established in 1940, the Pennington
County Conservation District lies in west central South Dakota. The Wyoming
state line forms the western boundary; Lawrence and Meade Counties on
the north; the Cheyenne River on the east; and Custer County on the south.
A majority of the Black Hills National Forest lies within the district. The topography of the area ranges from undulating to steeply rolling and hilly land, with bands of more level areas along the creek valleys. The drainage is mostly through Box Elder Creek, Rapid Creek, and Spring Creek, flowing east into the Cheyenne River. The area is located in a dry climate where both temperature and moisture show a wide variation. |
