About this map

Wounded Knee Cr flows through this corner of Oglala Lakota County, carving a winding path through the high plains landscape near the settlement of Denby. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by large-scale land management, indicated by the prominent township and range boundaries such as t36n r43w and t36n r42w. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Native American Cem west of the creek provides a significant point of cultural and ancestral reference.

Transportation in this area is anchored by Old Hwy 18, which runs east-west across the central portion of the quadrangle. Water sources are critical landmarks here, including Denby Lake and Lee Lake, which sit amidst the rolling terrain alongside secondary routes like Denby Rd and Mouse Creek Rd. The drainage patterns of Bartlett Cr and E Prong Wolf Cr further define the local topography and historical movement through the Pine Ridge region.
