About this map

Saint James Episcopal Cem and the Old Catholic Cem sit on the high ground west of the Missouri River, marking the long-standing community foundations in this corner of Sioux County. This 2017 survey shows the landscape shaped by the waters of Lake Oahe, where the river's path defines the boundary with Emmons County. The drainage patterns of the northern plains are evident in the winding courses of Horsehead Creek to the east and Beaver Holes Cr and Fool-Bear Cr to the west. Local infrastructure is primarily oriented around the township and range grid, with routes like S Big Lake Rd and Big Lake Rd providing access to the Big Lake Cem and the surrounding agricultural tracts. The map records a sparsely populated region where geography is defined by river bluffs and the seasonal flow of prairie creeks.
