About this map

Bear-in-the-Lodge Cr flows through this corner of Bennett County, a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Pine Ridge region. The 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated area where named roads such as Bia Rd 22, Apple Rd, and Smoke Rd connect isolated settlements and burial grounds. The presence of Plenty Bears and Bad Wound suggests the enduring footprint of local families and communities in this part of South Dakota. Genealogists and historians will find value in the specific locations of the Salaway Cem in the north and Saint Johns Cem near the southern boundary. Other water features, including Corn Cr and the descriptively named Pretty Hip Cr, highlight the importance of these seasonal and perennial waterways to the local topography and land use patterns.
