Black Hills

The Black Hills are a small, isolated mountain range rising from the Great Plains of North America in western South Dakota and extending into Wyoming. Set off from the main body of the Rocky Mountains, the region is somewhat of a geological anomaly. The region is considered sacred by the Native Americans of the plains. It is accurately described as an "island of trees in a sea of grass."

Black Hills in film

Several major motion pictures have been filmed in the Black Hills including North by Northwest, How the West was Won, A Man Called Horse, and Dances with Wolves. The Black Hills is also the setting for the popular HBO series Deadwood, although the show is actually filmed in California.
