About this map

Lake Francis Case dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, marking the wide expanse of the Missouri River reservoir in Buffalo County. The surrounding prairie is defined by a grid of rural routes, including 225th St and 344th Ave, which serve the agricultural landscape. The small settlement at Lees Corner sits at a primary junction, providing a fixed reference point for local history in this part of the Crow Creek District.

The drainage patterns of the northern plains are clearly visible through the winding paths of Wolf Cr and Campbell Cr, which carve through the terrain toward the reservoir. While much of the land remains open, the presence of BIA Road 4 indicates the managed infrastructure of the regional tribal lands. This documentation is essential for researchers tracking the development of rural intersections and water access points in central South Dakota.
