Pine Ridge is a region located in South Dakota, United States. It is situated along the northern border of the Pine Ridge Reservation of the Oglala Sioux. The White River flows across the northern boundaries of this reservation. The area is characterized by a semiarid climate with fluctuating precipitation and drought. Geologic conditions and sparse vegetation in the upper White River course have created the Badlands, a landscape of pinnacles and valleys. The region is also adjacent to Buffalo Gap National Grassland, which is administered as part of the Nebraska National Forest.123
