2015 Map of Slim Butte NW

About this map

The rolling plains of Oglala Lakota County are defined by the intricate drainage systems of the Blacktail Cr and its southern branch, the S Br Blacktail Cr. In this portion of the Pine Ridge region, the landscape is segmented by the Public Land Survey System, with the map recording the intersections of Townships 36, 37, and 38 North. Essential transportation corridors such as Bia-52 and Hagmans Rd provide the primary access through this rangeland, while Slim Buttes Rd skirts the southern reaches of the map near Slim Butte Cr. The absence of dense town clusters highlights the vast, open-space character of the area in 2015, where the primary human impact is visible through the network of tribal and local roads connecting scattered homesteads or lease lands.
