About this map

Lantry and the surrounding plains of the Cheyenne River Reservation occupy this portion of the Dakotas, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek. In the southern half of the map, the community of Lantry sits near the small reservoir of Lantry Lake, serving as a focal point for the rural section lines and county routes that crisscross the prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Saint James Cemetery and Lantry Cemetery essential for tracing family roots in this part of Ziebach County. The boundary between Ziebach and Dewey Counties is clearly marked, following the road network near the settlement of Bear Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching landscape where water sources like Elm Creek were vital for the development of these isolated high-plains communities.
