1972 Map of Pitt Creek

About this map

Standing Rock Indian Reservation occupies the southern portion of this landscape, where the boundary between Grant and Sioux Counties follows the winding course of the river. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the branching paths of Crooked Creek and Pitt Creek, which carve through the high plains. In the north, the jurisdictional boundaries of Schultz and Winona segment the rural acreage, largely comprised of open land marked by intermittent field lines. Small watercourses like Whitmore Cr and Hay Creek feed into the larger Cedar Creek valley, illustrating the natural water management of the region before modern diversions. This survey provides a clear view of the mid-century land divisions and physical geography of this segment of the Missouri Plateau.
