About this map

Crow Creek Indian Reservation lands dominate this central South Dakota landscape, where the meandering course of Crow Creek and Smith Creek cut through the plains. The small community of Shelby sits near the center of the sheet, while the more developed area of Crow Creek to the northwest includes vital community infrastructure such as a Sewage Disposal Pond and the Crow Creek Cem. Near the northern border, St Peters Mission stands as a notable landmark alongside a Cem, indicating centers of local social and religious life.

The topography transitions toward the south into West Point Union, where the land is marked by Tischudy Gulch and the administrative line of the Buffalo Co Brule Co border. Infrastructure for water management and resource extraction is evident through the placement of a Gaging Station and several Gravel Pit locations, reflecting the rural utility and transport-driven economy of the region during the early 1980s.
