About this map

Winona Flats occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, situated along the expansive eastern bank of Lake Oahe. The map delineates the boundary between Sioux Co and Emmons Co, which follows the original channel of the Missouri River. This waterway has been significantly altered by the impoundment of the Oahe Dam downstream, resulting in the broad reservoir that now defines the valley. Several drainage systems feed into the lake from the rugged breaks of the eastern shore, including Bone Cr and the winding Little Beaver Cr. The upland terrain is crisscrossed by a network of rural roads and specific local routes such as Little Beaver Creek Trl and Beaver Bay Trl, reflecting the agricultural and recreational nature of the Missouri River trench in the early 21st century.
