About this map

The Missouri River serves as the central artery and the shifting border between South Dakota and Nebraska in this mid-1960s study. The settlement of Burbank sits on the northern plains of Clay County, positioned along the Chicago Milwaukee railroad and the St Paul and Pacific line. This area illustrates the transition from the flat river valley, characterized by Burbank Lake, to the dissected bluffs on the Nebraska side.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Ionia Cem and the South Bend Sch. Notable topography including Volcano Hill and Rattlesnake Hill rises above the valley floor, while several drainage systems like Pumpkin Creek and Gibbs Creek carve through the southern hills. The inclusion of Lembke Landing along the river bank highlights the historical importance of small waterfront access points in this rural landscape.
