About this map

The Missouri River forms a wide, shifting boundary between South Dakota and Nebraska on this mid-1990s survey. The landscape transitions from the flat, river-deposited bottomlands of Burbank Lake and the Donnelly State Game Production Area in the north to the dissected bluffs of Newcastle in the south. The rural settlement of Burbank sits along the Burlington Northern line, serving as a hub for the northern prairie sections of Fairview and Brule.

South of the river, the terrain becomes more varied with landmarks like Volcano Hill and Rattlesnake Hill overlooking Ionia Cem. This map records the late 20th-century hydrology of the river corridor, including Lembke Landing and the meandering paths of Pumpkin Creek and Aowa Creek. It is a detailed look at the agricultural and conservation-focused use of the river border before further modern development.
