2012 Map of Evergreen

About this map

The community of Evergreen is situated within a landscape of deep canyons and prominent ridges in South Dakota's Shannon County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Bell Butte and the winding Crooked Eyes Canyon to the north. Water sources are vital to this semi-arid region, evidenced by the inclusion of Iron Cloud Spring and several seasonal drainage systems like Porcupine Cr and Threemile Cr. Notable for local history and heritage, the map identifies the Big Foot Trl and a Fire Trl, indicating both the cultural significance of the land and the modern management of its natural resources. The spatial distribution of family-named features like Iron Cloud Canyon reflects the deep connection between the indigenous population and specific landmarks throughout the Pine Ridge area.
