2017 Map of Sharps Corner

About this map

Sharps Corner sits at the intersection of local routes in this part of Oglala Lakota County, where the plains meet the striking geological formations of the northern border. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Porcupine Cr, which meanders through a landscape of sharp elevation changes and high points such as Chimney Butte. The northern edge of the map reveals the transition into the protected lands of Badlands National Park, characterized by the intricate contour lines of its famous eroded buttes and pinnacles. Transport in this region relies on a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Bia Hwy 27 and Bia Hwy 2, along with trails that navigate the broken ground. The layout of these routes, such as N Big Foot Trl, reflects the historical and modern movement across the Pine Ridge Reservation landscape.
