2011 Map of Cannon Ball SE

About this map

The Missouri River dominates this stretch of the Cannonball District, where the wide alluvial plains of the Kenel Flats meet the western shoreline. Several historic burial sites, including Saint James Cemetery, Old Catholic Cemetery, and Big Lake Cemetery, are situated along the bluffs and plateaus overlooking the water, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research in this part of Sioux County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several drainages with the Missouri, such as Horsehead Creek to the north and the winding paths of Beaver Holes Creek and Fool Bear Creek to the west. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely settled region primarily organized by a grid of rural routes like 73rd St SW and 77th Ave SW, reflecting the enduring agricultural and ranching character of the land along the North Dakota and South Dakota border region.
