2011 Map of Clinton NE

About this map

Wounded Knee Creek meanders through this portion of the Pine Ridge region, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by sparse rural development and open rangeland. The map detail highlights the Bethel Cemetery, a localized landmark of genealogical significance for families tied to the borderlands of South Dakota and Nebraska. Water management in this arid environment is visible through the infrastructure of the Holzberger Reservoir and the associated Holzberger Dam in the southeastern quadrant. These features, along with East Prong Wolf Creek, illustrate how the natural hydrology has been adapted to support the local agricultural and ranching economy in Oglala Lakota County during the early 21st century.
