1951 Map of Cuny Table West

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic high plateaus and deep drainage systems. The topography is anchored by the massive Cuny Table and Red Shirt Table, expansive flat-topped landforms that rise sharply above the surrounding breaks. These geological features dictated the movement and settlement patterns of the region, as seen in the way Cedar Creek and Brush Creek carve through the terrain. The transition from the high elevations of Pine Ridge down into the intricate Battle Creek Canyon illustrates the complex erosional history of the Missouri River Basin development area. While the map is sparse in permanent structures, the named landmarks like Blindman Table provide essential points of reference for local-history researchers and genealogists tracing land allotments and family connections within the reservation during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
