Description

(From: Cultural Resources Reconnaissance in Dewey County, South Dakota From Below The Moreau River To The Forest City Recreation Area) ... The Corps Missouri River Maps (1947) (Sheet 93) add one other site that is within the survey area, namely Swift Bird Cemetery (Calvary Episcopal Cemetery Nos. I and 2 (Swift Bird)) (BIA 1951:12). The Corps maps show, in addition, a Swift Bird Church and Cemetery about one-quarter of a mile southeast of the above. The latter are now inundated. The former cemetery was not relocated during the current survey. It contained 87 individuals - apparently 5 interments in Section 3, TI3N, R31E and 82 in Section 34, T14N, R31E. Relocation by the Corps and subsequent erosion have apparently destroyed all evidence of the cemetery. The area is highly eroded Pierre Shale.
