About this map

The Missouri River dominates this portion of the Standing Rock Reservation, carving a wide path through the eastern edge of the Fort Yates District. The broad alluvial expanse of Kenel Flats lines the western banks, where the river's slow current has historically shaped the shifting landforms of the Missouri Trench. North of the flats, Winona Island sits as a prominent feature within the river's channel, reflecting the seasonal flow patterns that define this riparian environment.

Inland from the river, Cattail Creek meanders toward the Missouri, draining the prairie plateau. This 2011 survey documents the rural road network, including 90th St SW and 10th Ave SW, which follow the section lines characteristic of the Great Plains' legal land survey system. The map provides a clear record of the relationship between the dramatic river breaks and the structured agricultural grid of Sioux County.
