About this map

Standing Rock Indian Reservation dominates the landscape of this late 1970s survey, illustrating the intersection of tribal lands and rural development in Dewey and Corson counties. The town of Timber Lake serves as the central hub, situated south of its namesake Timber Lake and east of the Timber Lake Municipal Airport. The map provides a detailed view of the regional topography, including the Dog Butte landmark and the winding course of Dog Butte Creek.

Significant historical demarcations are present, specifically the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the Indian Reservation Boundary which cross the northern sections of the quadrangle. Local community infrastructure is well-documented, from the Holy Cross Cem and another Cem to the specialized Sewage Disposal Ponds near the town center, offering researchers a clear view of the area's mid-century growth and land management.
