About this map

Saint Lukes Cem sits near the eastern edge of this landscape, situated above the expansive waters of Lake Oahe and the original channel of the Missouri River. This portion of Sioux County is defined by its drainage systems, where Battle Creek and Porcupine Creek carve through the plains toward the river valley. The map reveals a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia Rte 6 and Bia Rd 8, alongside uniquely named local roads such as Loans Him Arrow Loop. The terrain is marked by seasonal waterways like Stone-Man Cr and Bone Cr, illustrating the rugged hydrology of the Standing Rock region. This survey documents the intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional land divisions at the border of Sioux and Emmons counties.
