About this map

Evergreen and Porcupine anchor this 2017 survey of the Pine Ridge Reservation landscape in Oglala Lakota County. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and named canyons, including Crooked Eyes Canyon and Iron Cloud Canyon, which cut through the high plains. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Saint Albans Episcopal Cem, a key landmark for those tracing family roots in the area.

The presence of historical transportation routes like the Big Foot Trl and various segments of Fire Trl suggests a landscape long shaped by movement and accessibility across the buttes. Water is a critical element of this environment, with Porcupine Cr, Little Bear Cr, and Threemile Cr winding through the townships, while Iron Cloud Spring and the prominent Bell Butte serve as distinct natural markers on the South Dakota horizon.
