About this map

The Missouri River serves as a major geographical boundary on this sheet, marking the intersection of Morton, Emmons, and Sioux Counties. The settlement of Cannon Ball is situated on the western bank, just south of where the Cannonball River feeds into the expansive Lake Oahe reservoir. This landscape is characterized by its proximity to these major waterways and the distinct relief of landmarks like Coal Butte and Twin Buttes to the east and west.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of community life, including the Cannon Ball Memorial Congregational Cem and the Badger School located near the northern reaches of Badger Creek. The map documents a rural road network of numbered avenues and streets, such as Weasel St and 5th Ave SW, that connect these isolated landmarks across the undulating plains of the Cannonball District.
