About this map

The Missouri River forms the western boundary of this landscape, its waters contained within the expansive Lake Francis Case. This stretch of the Missouri is defined by the convergence of several tributary systems, including Wolf Cr, Crow Creek, and the smaller De Smet Cr. The terrain east of the river is marked by significant drainages and seasonal water bodies like Bedashosha Lake, which sits in a depression surrounded by the complex topography of West Point Township.

Local history is anchored by the settlement of Grosse and the Saint John The Baptist Episcopal Cem, which provides a focal point for genealogical research in this part of Brule County. Named landforms such as Tischudy Gulch and Bud Hand Cr in the south reveal the intricate network of coulees and draws that lead toward the river valley. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundaries where Buffalo, Lyman, and Brule counties meet along the waterway.
