About this map

Parmelee serves as a central hub on this landscape, situated entirely within the Rosebud Indian Reservation during the late 1960s. The map highlights significant cultural and ancestral sites, specifically identifying High Hawks Village (Historic Site) and Hollow Horn Bear Village (Historic Site) south of the main settlement. These labels, along with the Hollow Horn Bear settlement, point to a geography deeply connected to specific families and tribal history.

Water and education define the local infrastructure, with He Dog Lake and the nearby He Dog Day Sch situated along the winding course of Cut Meat Creek. The presence of several community anchors, including Holy Innocence Ch, White Horse Cem, and the German Cem, reveals the spiritual and social fabric of the reservation at the time of the 1969 field check. Drainage systems like Phister Creek and Scabby Creek provide natural landmarks across the undulating terrain.
