2015 Map of Willow Creek NW

About this map

Taka'a Okute Wakpa winds through this 2015 landscape, showcasing the hydrology of the northern Great Plains on the Pine Ridge Reservation. This topographic survey captures the natural drainage systems of the Middle Fork Willow Cr and E Fork Willow Cr as they cut through the upland terrain. A prominent landmark is the Squaw Humper Table, a high plateau that dominates the northwestern portion of the sheet. The only primary transportation route indicated is Bia-2, which crosses the northern half of the quadrangle. This map is particularly valuable for its recording of Indigenous hydronyms alongside conventional descriptive stream names, illustrating the cultural and administrative geography of Oglala Lakota County in the early 21st century.
