1956 Map of Little Eagle

About this map

Little Eagle sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, located within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation along the northern banks of the Grand River. The community's spiritual and social infrastructure is anchored by St Pauls Ch and the nearby St Pauls Cem, illustrating the importance of these local institutions in the rural Plains landscape. The topography is dominated by the sharp bend of the river and the prominent Elk Butte to the northeast, which provides a significant landmark in an area otherwise defined by river breaks and plateau terrain.
