1950 Map of Sheep Mountain Table

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sheep Mountain Table dominates this 1950 survey, showcasing the dramatic erosion patterns where the high plains break into the Badlands. This area marks the convergence of the Badlands National Monument and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, with the boundary line bisecting the intricate drainage networks of Heck Table Creek and Wind Creek. The map records a landscape defined by flat-topped remnants like Hart Table and Heck Table, which stand as islands above the deeply dissected terrain of Pine Ridge. The prominence of Cedar Butte provides a central landmark amidst the complex topography. This map is particularly valuable for documenting the mid-century jurisdictional boundaries and the natural geomorphology of the Pennington Co Shannon Co line before modern developments modified the region.
