About this map

Wounded Knee Creek winds through this landscape on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating a late 1960s snapshot of the South Dakota and Nebraska borderlands. The small settlement of Denby serves as a local focal point near the intersection of various water features and transportation routes. Notable for genealogists and local historians, the map identifies a Native American Cem situated west of the creek, providing a specific location for cultural and ancestral research.

Evidence of the region's movement and history is found along the Big Foot Trail, which cuts across the central portion of the sheet. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and small bodies of water, including Denby Lake, Lee Lake, and Spring Creek. The presence of a small Landing Field near the creek reflects the necessity of local air travel in this expansive region of Shannon and Sheridan Counties.
