1951 Map of Red Shirt SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation land dominates this landscape, characterized by the dramatic transition between high tablelands and the winding valley of the Cheyenne River. The river forms a natural northern limit, with the Reservation Boundary following its course before cutting across the high plains. This map captures a rugged topography where significant plateaus like Squaw-Humper Table and Little Squaw-Humper Table rise above the surrounding terrain. Drainage patterns are defined by the Little Squaw-Humper Creek and Cedar Creek, which carve deep into the Pine Ridge escarpment. The mapping reflects a post-war effort for the development of the Missouri River Basin, documenting the border between Custer and Shannon counties before the latter was renamed Oglala Lakota County. The terrain is notably sparse of structures, emphasizing the natural divisions of the Red Shirt Table region.
