2012 Map of Slim Butte SW

About this map

Slim Butte characterizes this high-plains landscape along the South Dakota and Nebraska border, where the small settlement of the same name sits amidst a network of intermittent drainage. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and winding paths of Slim Butte Cr, Allen Cr, and Alkali Cr, illustrating the sparse but critical water resources in this part of Oglala Lakota County. This 2012 survey shows the modern road grid and land boundaries within the Pine Ridge region, preserving the spatial relationship between the isolated community and the geographic landform of Slim Butte itself. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology that define the area's modern character.
