About this map

Red Dog Table rises prominently above the surrounding plains in this section of Oglala Lakota County, marking a distinct geographical transition in the western South Dakota landscape. The hydrological network of the region is defined by the White River, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This drainage system is fed by several significant seasonal and perennial streams, including E Horse Cr, W Horse Cr, and Sand Cr. To the north, the terrain is further sculpted by the deep incision of Wolf Canyon. The map illustrates the sparsely populated, ranch-oriented land use pattern typical of the High Plains, where human impact is primarily reflected in the network of local roads and land division lines that traverse the open range and high plateaus.
