About this map

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation spans the borderlands of South Dakota and Nebraska in this late 1960s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of several significant waterways, including White Horse Creek, Hyde Creek, and Cheyenne Creek, which carve through the high plains. Family and community history is anchored by the presence of St Anns Cem and Lamont Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research in this portion of the reservation.

Transport and movement across the terrain are marked by the Big Foot Trail, which cuts across the eastern section of the map. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the convergence of East Prong Wolf Creek and South Prong Wolf Creek feeds toward Wolf Creek Lake. This map captures a specific moment in the rural development of the Missouri River Basin, detailing the network of unimproved roads and fences that defined land use and livestock movement during this era.
