2015 Map of Red Shirt SW

About this map

Badlands National Park and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland define this corner of the South Dakota landscape where the Cheyenne River — also labeled as Tahca Okute Wakpa — cuts through the northern reaches. The terrain is dominated by distinctive geological formations, most notably the high plateaus of Red Shirt Table, Little Squaw-Humper Table, and Squaw-Humper Table. These features illustrate the dramatic erosion patterns characteristic of the region. Drainage is carved by the Little Squaw-Humper Cr and Pass Cr, with very few established roads like Willow Rd present. The intersection of the Custer and Oglala Lakota county lines provides a specific point of reference for researchers tracking historical land boundaries in this protected prairie environment.
