1956 Map of Wakpala SE

About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the northeastern landscape of this Corson County survey, representing a significant era of transformation within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. The map documentation, updated in the late 1970s, illustrates the inundation caused by the Oahe Dam, which altered the original course of the Grand River and its surrounding bottomlands. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line is shown traversing the northern reaches, crossing the water as it follows the drainage of Deep Bank Creek. To the south, the terrain rises significantly toward Mission Ridge, a prominent upland area that separates the river basin from the southern drainages of Snake Creek and Claymore Creek. This 1:24,000 scale study provides an essential look at the geography of the Missouri River Basin development program, balancing the original 1956 field checks with the post-reservoir landscape of the 1970s.
