2021 Map of Stirk Table

About this map

Badlands National Park anchors this portion of the Oglala Lakota landscape, where the plateau surfaces of Stirk Table and Cuny Table stand above a complex drainage system. These high tables are bisected by erosional features like V-Tail Draw and are surrounded by a network of seasonal watercourses including Cottonwood Cr, N Cottonwood Cr, and Fog Cr. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain drops significantly toward the White River valley, a primary geographical landmark for the region. The map captures the specialized transportation network of the reservation, notably the Big Foot Trl Bia Hwy 27 and BIA Hwy 2. Significant topographical elevations are marked by Cedar Butte, providing a detailed look at the transition from the high prairie tables to the broken badlands and river bottoms.
