lie between the 43tdiaud +5th degrees
of latitude, and the lOJrd and l0Jth
parallels of longitude, and Occur an
urea of about n huUdred miles in
length, nOrtherly ai.d s1utherly, and
about sixty miles in hrCadth. Their
form is elIiptical, and according to
Lieut.. Warren'S report of them, 1.-THE
major axis trends about 2O' west of
north.p The base Of these bills is
about 2JOO to 1000 feet above the sea
level, and the highest peaks do not
exceed 1000 feet. The eastern bound
atS line Oh Wyoming, l0ilh parallel
Of loDgituda, runs about midway
through the 'hflS. The whole range
of the hills lies in the forks OF the
Big Cheyenne ARiver, which il the
most important stream in that re-
Eiou. The north fork is called Belle
Fourche, is thirty yards wide, and
passes around the northern end of
the range in a seIHicircle, receiving
the Waters from the greater part of
the hills, Which flow into 1t from a
great number of small streams. 1t
takes its rise far TO the westward of
this range, near to the sources of the
Little Powder River, in what is
known as the "divide" between the
waters of the Yellowstone and those
of the Missouri The South Fork of
the Cheyenne River is about one
hundred feet wide, takes its rise in
the same divide" flows around the
southern base -of-the hills, and also
receives numerous tributaries which
have their source in them. These
two streams unite about forty miles
east of the Black Hills, forming the
Big Cheyenne sometimes spelled
Shyennc) River, which pOurs itself
into the Missouri some sixty miles
above, Fort Pierre. From either
Fort -Sully or Fort Pierre, in a due
west direction to the Wyoming line,
which run through the centre of the
hills nearly, is a distance of 220
miles, on an air line. Formerly there
was a road from Fort Pierre to Fort
Laramie, over which military and
traders lstOTes were rfreighted, and
the distance iXed~at three hundred
and twenty-five miles. The road
necessarily passed over the bad lands
considerable of the distance. Any
route followed from the Upper Mis-
souri, VIII encounter them. In the
summer the heat is intense in the
country between the Upper Missouri
and the Black Hills, the grass is not
good flor stock, and the water is
strongly alkaline. For these facts
we are Indebted to persons who have
frequency passed over the route dur
Ing the past twenty-five years, to
officers Of the army, and to the off
cial reports Of Lieut.. g. K. Warren
and 'BrevetN Brig. Gen. ". T. Ray
nolds, of the Typographical Engin-
GERS of the United States Army.
