2012 Map of Slim Butte NW

About this map

The hydrological network of Blacktail Cr and its tributary S Br Blacktail Cr defines this territory within the Pine Ridge Reservation. This portion of the landscape, mapped in 2012, is characterized by its drainage basins and the intermittent flow of Slim Butte Cr to the south. Transportation is primarily facilitated by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including the primary corridor of BIA Road 52. These roads follow the natural contours of the terrain, providing essential connectivity across the grasslands and drainage divides of Shannon County. The map provides a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure and water management features, including several small stock ponds and reservoirs essential for land use in this part of South Dakota.
