About this map

The Missouri National Recreation River carves a significant path through this 2015 study, defining the border between South Dakota and Nebraska. This riparian corridor is marked by shifting sandbars and backwaters like Burbank Lake and Government Slough, showing the river's dynamic nature in Clay and Dixon counties. On the Nebraska side, the landscape transitions from the river bottom to a series of distinct topographic features, including Indian Hill, Volcano Hill, and Rattlesnake Hill.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around the village of Newcastle in the southwest and the small community of Burbank to the north. Local history is preserved at the Ionia Cem, while the riverfront remains active at Lembke Landing. The contrast between the flat, gridded agricultural fields of the South Dakota floodplain and the deeply dissected bluffs near Aowa Cr in Nebraska illustrates the diverse terrain of the Missouri River valley.
