2015 Map of Wakpala

About this map

Wakpala sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned north of the expansive waters of Lake Oahe. The settlement pattern is defined by the intersection of local routes like BIA Rd 44 and 1st Ave S, serving as a central hub in this section of Corson County. To the east of the town center, Saint Bedes Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the region. The natural geography is dominated by the winding path of Oak Creek, which cuts through the terrain toward the Missouri River reservoir. To the northwest, the prominent rise of Rattlesnake Butte stands as a significant landmark above the surrounding plains. The presence of Deep Bank Cr in the southwest corner further illustrates the intricate drainage systems that define this part of the Standing Rock reservation area.
