About this map

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century landscape in South Dakota, showing a topography defined by wide plateaus and intricate drainage systems. The White River flows through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, carving a distinct path through the terrain. To the west, the prominent elevation of Red Dog Table rises above the surrounding valleys, serving as a significant landmark in this part of Oglala Lakota County. The map details a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Sand Creek and the bifurcated paths of East Horse Creek and West Horse Creek. This 1951 field-checked survey illustrates a region where land use was largely shaped by the natural contours of the High Plains and the administrative boundaries of the reservation. The absence of dense town sites highlights the rural character of the area, where geographical features like the "tables" provided critical orientation for residents and travelers alike.
