1951 Map of Wanblee NW

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The White River carves a sharp, meandering path through this western South Dakota landscape, defining the northern extent of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the terrain shows the high, eroded formations of the Wall to the north and the complex drainage systems that feed the river, including Fifteen Creek, Craven Creek, and Long Creek. Evidence of early rural education appears at the Weta Sch, located just north of the river's winding channel. The map also delineates the administrative intersection of Jackson Co and Washabaugh Co, providing a clear view of the Reservation Boundary as it follows the river's natural course. This topography illustrates the interplay between significant water sources and the semi-arid plains during the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin.
