About this map

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Grass Creek and Wounded Knee Creek in the early 1950s. This survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a sparse but established network of essential institutions and water sources. Centered along the valley floor, the Indian School No 11 and St Marys Ch stand as primary landmarks for the local community. The terrain is marked by numerous Windmills, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater management for ranching and settlement in this semi-arid region. The map captures the physical layout of the reservation during a period of transition, documenting the exact placement of these cultural and structural features relative to the intricate contour lines of the plains.
