2015 Map of Batesland

About this map

Batesland serves as the primary hub in this southwestern South Dakota landscape, situated along the southern edge of the quadrangle near the Us-18 highway. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems that flow northward across the county line, which divides Oglala Lakota Co and Bennett Co. The Little White River cuts through the southwestern corner, joined by tributaries including American Horse Cr and No Flesh Cr. The map reveals a systematic grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Beer Run Rd and Wounded Knee Rd, which provide access to the agricultural parcels and open range characteristic of this region. This 2015 survey reflects the contemporary layout of the Pine Ridge area, documenting the persistence of these watercourses and the established roadway network that connects the scattered homesteads and local infrastructure.
