Camp F-6 (Roubaix) was located 15 miles south of Deadwood, on the west side of U.S. Highway 385 (1934).

It straddled a ravine in the NE 1/4 of SW 1/4 of section 20, T 3N, R 4E that drained into Middle Box Elder Creek from the north. At this writing (1986) the chimney for the officers' quarters is visible from the highway several hundred yards north of the road to Lake Roubaix.

The original buildings included the mess hall, hospital, bath house, recreation hall, administration building, supply building, forestry and army garages, laundry, and pump (1934). In 1934 a new hospital and officers' quarters were built; the hospital was remodeled for use as an administration building; and part of the administration building was transformed into a barracks (1935).

The camp was established June 3, and closed September 15, 1941.x
