2017 Map of Slim Butte

About this map

Slim Butte serves as a focal point for this 2017 survey of the South Dakota landscape within the Pine Ridge area. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the White River, which is fed by several tributaries including Janis Cr, Alkali Cr, and Limekiln Cr. This modern topographic study illustrates the established infrastructure of the Oglala Lakota County, showing how primary routes like BIA Hwy 41 and BIA Hwy 32 connect the local population center to the surrounding countryside. Genealogists and local historians will find the Slim Buttes Cem recorded south of the main settlement, providing a specific point of interest for family research. The map also delineates township and range boundaries, such as t36n r47w and t36n r46w, which are essential for tracing land ownership and historical property records in this portion of the northern plains.
