2014 Map of Cannon Ball SE

About this map

The Missouri River corridor defines this landscape along the boundary of Sioux and Emmons counties, where the river widens into Lake Oahe. On the western bluffs, the community of Cannon Ball is situated amidst a network of drainage ways including Beaver Holes Cr and Fool Bear Cr. This 2014 survey records several significant local landmarks for genealogists, including the Old Catholic Cem, Saint James Cem, and Big Lake Cem. The eastern shore is marked by the mouth of Horsehead Creek and the route of ND-1804, tracing the high ground above the reservoir. The map illustrates the transition from the rolling prairie uplands to the expansive water of the Missouri valley, capturing the placement of rural cemeteries and the road grid that serves this tribal district.
