About this map

The Cheyenne River defines the northern reaches of this landscape in the Oglala Lakota region, where a complex network of seasonal drainages carves through the high plains. Elevated landforms known as tables dominate the topography, most notably Squaw-Humper Table and Little Squaw-Humper Table, which rise above the surrounding creek beds. These plateaus reflect the distinctive geology of the area, providing natural overlooks above the winding paths of Squaw-Humper Cr and Pass Cr. The sparse infrastructure, consisting largely of routes like Sage Rd, highlights the open and undeveloped nature of this territory in the early 21st century. Researchers can trace the intricate dendritic drainage patterns of Little Squaw-Humper Cr as it flows toward the main river valley, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of South Dakota.
