1950 Map of Stirk Table

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation landforms define this mid-century topographic study, showcasing a landscape of high plateaus and complex drainage systems. Two prominent flat-topped formations, Stirk Table and Cuny Table, dominate the topography, separated by the winding path of Cottonwood Creek. To the south, the White River flows eastward, receiving waters from Cuny Table Creek and other intermittent streams that have carved the deep draws and buttes characteristic of this region. The map reveals the intricate natural erosion patterns within Pine Ridge, specifically around named landmarks like Cedar Butte and the distinctively named V-Tail Draw. Mapped at the start of the 1950s, the document preserves the exact drainage network and elevation contours of these significant Sioux tribal lands before later environmental or development changes.
