1969 Map of Beaver Wall

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a historic line across this high-plains landscape where Sheridan County, Nebraska, meets Shannon County, South Dakota. This 1969 survey reveals a sparsely settled frontier defined by the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Extension and the dramatic topographic break known as the Beaver Wall. The placement of Craven Creek Sch and Beaver Valley Sch suggests the locations of rural homesteading communities that relied on the seasonal flows of Limekiln Creek and Little Beaver Creek. From the heights of Hubbard Butte, the map depicts a terrain of deep draws and high ridges, providing a clear record of the jurisdictional and tribal boundaries that shaped land use in the Nebraska panhandle during the late 20th century.
