1950 Map of Sheep Mountain Table

About this map

Sheep Mountain Table rises as a dominant landform in this mid-century survey of the South Dakota landscape. The map captures a transitional boundary where the Badlands National Monument meets the northern reaches of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. This intersection of federal and tribal lands is defined by a series of elevated plateaus, including Hart Table and Heck Table, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages such as Wind Creek and Cain Creek.
