2021 Map of De Grey

About this map

Lake Sharpe dominates the southern landscape of this Hughes County region, where the Missouri River waters meet the rugged breaks of the high plains. The settlement of De Grey sits just north of the water, positioned near the confluence where Chapelle Cr winds through the drainages to join the reservoir. This modern topographic survey illustrates the enduring rural grid of central South Dakota, defined by long stretches of section line roads like 311th Ave and 210th St. South of the lake, the Fort George Catholic Church Cem remains a significant point for genealogists, marking the site of an earlier community presence near the Hughes and Stanley County line. The terrain is characterized by intricate coulees and draws, including the path of S Chapelle Cr, which highlight the natural erosion patterns typical of the Missouri River trench.
