1951 Map of School Section Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The White River carves a deeply sinuous path through this Dakota landscape, marking the northern reaches of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The terrain is characterized by high, flat-topped overlooks such as School Section Butte and Flat Top Butte, providing a clear view of the complex drainage network including Sixteenmile Creek and Bear-in-the-Lodge Creek. At the time of this 1948 aerial survey, the northern edge of the map follows the corridor of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which historically linked the small ranching outposts of the interior to larger markets. Land use in this era appears centered on the river bottoms and scattered points of development like the Craven Ranch, where a Spring provides a vital water source in the arid breaks of the Eagle Nest Creek drainage.
