2021 Map of Slim Butte NW

About this map

Swallow Church Cem stands as a focal point for local history in this portion of South Dakota within the Oglala Lakota territory. The landscape is defined by the branching drainage systems of Blacktail Creek, including the South Branch Blacktail Creek which cuts through the northern sections, and Slim Butte Creek to the south. Transportation in the area is largely facilitated by BIA Road 52, reflecting the infrastructure of the tribal land management system. The map provides a look at the Public Land Survey System organization, spanning several townships including t37n r48w and t38n r47w. The absence of dense residential development emphasizes the area's rural character, where small landmarks and watercourses dictate the geography of the community.
