About this map

Fort Yates stands as a focal point of this landscape on the western banks of the Missouri River, where the waters expand into Lake Oahe. The map details the administrative and cultural heart of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, featuring the Sitting Bull Burial Site and the campus of Sitting Bull Coll near the waterfront. To the north, the terrain rises at Proposal Hill, overlooking the waters of Slaughterhouse Bay.

The surrounding geography is defined by a series of drainages, including Slaughterhouse Cr, Onemile Cr, and Fourmile Cr, which carve through the plains. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by ND-24 and the Standing Rock Airport, while local history is marked by the presence of Reed Cem south of the main settlement. This 2014 survey captures the community’s layout including Agency Ave and Standing Rock Ave just before the mid-2010s infrastructure developments.
