About this map

Oak Creek meanders across this rural landscape, crossing the state line where Sioux Co, North Dakota meets Corson Co, South Dakota. This interior border region is defined by its Public Land Survey System organization, including portions of t129n r81w and t23n r26e. The terrain is marked by a sparse network of section-line roads, including 100th St and 22nd Ave, which provide the primary access to the scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts of this high plains environment. The map details the subtle drainage patterns of Oak Cr as it flows southeast, revealing the natural hydrology that has dictated land use in this part of the Standing Rock Reservation area. Researchers will find precise township and range boundaries that illustrate how the land was partitioned for settlement and grazing during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
