About this map

Little White River and its western tributaries define the landscape of this corner of Oglala Lakota County in the early 2020s. The topography is shaped by the drainage systems of Porcupine Cr and Stinking Water Cr, which carve through the high plains. Human activity is primarily traced through the grid of rural routes such as American Horse Creek Rd, Mouse Creek Rd, and Gordon Rd, which provide access to the vast ranchlands and tribal lands. This survey offers a precise look at the township and range divisions, specifically covering sections of t38n r42w down to t36n r41w. For the modern researcher, it documents the enduring hydrography and the sparse road network that connects these isolated South Dakota creek basins.
