Red Shirt Table is a table mountain in Shannon County, South Dakota. The table is approximately 10 miles long, generally extending in a north-south direction, and is located along the western boundary of Badlands National Park's Stronghold Unit. The park's highest point is actually located at the southern end of the table at 3,340 feet.[1] The irregularly shaped southern portion of the table is connected to the more rectangular northern portion by a narrow section less than 800 feet wide; the northern portion is up to two miles wide and is comprised of two elongated lobes with a runoff channel between them. The top surface of the table slopes gently downhill as it extends northward, with the north edge being at about 2,800' in elevation. It drops off steeply from almost all sides, up to 300'. French Creek flows to the northeast, and the intermittent Cedar Creek drains the entire east side of the table. The Lakota community of Red Shirt, located on top of the table, is part of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
