About this map

Gayton Cemetery sits alone on the high ground west of the branching drainages in this quiet section of the Fort Yates District. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Fourmile Creek and Onemile Creek, which cut through the open country of the Standing Rock Reservation. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse settlement pattern common in the rural Dakotas, where the primary human landmarks are localized family or community burial grounds and the natural topography of the local watersheds. The road network follows the section lines and terrain, linking the scattered homesteads of Sioux County to the surrounding prairie.
