Bijou Hills rise above the surrounding Brule County landscape, providing a distinct topographic profile in this section of South Dakota. The area is characterized by a sparse, rural settlement pattern centered near the small community of Eagle, where local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds. Genealogists and researchers will find the Bohemian Cem in the northern reaches, while the Holy Trinity Bendon Catholic Cem and Eagle Cem further south serve as markers of the families who settled this prairie. Drainage is defined by the winding path of Nelson Cr and the waters of Smith Lake, with the land organized by the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t102n r69w and t101n r68w.
