1966 Map of Lower Brule

About this map

Lower Brule sits on the western banks of Lake Sharpe, a massive reservoir created by the damming of the Missouri River. Mapped in the mid-1960s, this area is the heart of the Lower Brule Indian Reservation, showing the community's layout including the Council House, a local Cem, and a distinctive Water Tank. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the deeply eroded breaks of the western shoreline and the broad, blue expanse of the water, which also serves as the boundary with the Crow Creek Indian Reservation to the east.
