1967 Map of Oglala

About this map

Oglala serves as the central hub of this late-1960s landscape, positioned near the northern shore of the expansive Oglala Lake. This reservoir is a primary feature of the region, created by the Oglala Dam and defined by its spillway. The surrounding terrain is deeply carved by White Clay Creek, which winds through the valley and supports the area's small clusters of community life. Several local landmarks highlight the importance of faith and lineage in the area, including Our Lady of The Sioux Ch and St Peter Ch near the lake, while St James Ch and its accompanying St James Cem are situated further south. This survey illustrates a quiet, rural settlement pattern typical of the Missouri River Basin development program during the mid-20th century.
