2015 Map of Tatanka Lake

About this map

Tatanka Lake and the undulating plains of the Standing Rock Reservation area are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote range roads. This landscape, straddling the North Dakota and South Dakota state line, is dominated by the prominent rise of Leaf-on-the Hill in the northern portion. The map details the drainage patterns of Leaf-on-the Hill Cr and Iron Dog Cr, which carve through the terrain as they flow across the Sioux and Corson County boundary. The sparse infrastructure consists primarily of a rectilinear grid of section-line roads, including 100th St SW and 105th St, reflecting the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on this northern prairie environment. The cartography provides a clear view of the open range and scattered wetlands that characterize this border region.
