2012 Map of De Grey

About this map

Lake Sharpe dominates the southern landscape of this Missouri River quadrangle, reflecting the modern hydrology of the region in the early 21st century. The small settlement of De Grey sits just north of the lake’s shore, serving as a focal point for a rural network of section-line roads and prairie drainages. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Chapelle Cr and S Chapelle Cr, which cut through the plains to meet the reservoir. Local development is visible in named lanes such as Cottage Pl, Catfish Pl, and Sauger PL, suggesting a community tied closely to the waterfront. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear record of the area’s rural infrastructure, from Chapelle Rd to the various numbered avenues that grid the Hughes County landscape.
