2012 Map of Yellow Bear Camp

About this map

Yellow Bear Camp serves as a central landmark in this Oglala Lakota landscape, where the geography is defined by the winding paths of No Flesh Cr and Medicine Root Cr. The area is characterized by a sparse network of roads, including Allen Rd and BIA Rd 4, which connect scattered residential and community sites across the plains. Local history is anchored at Body of Christ Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, located near the intersection of Cedar Ln and the primary road network. The terrain is marked by the distinct Yellow Bear Canyon, illustrating the erosional patterns common to this part of the northern Great Plains. This 2012 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary infrastructure of the Pine Ridge region, showing how modern names and traditional land use intersect.
