2021 Map of Four Bear Creek

About this map

The Missouri River forms the central corridor of this Dakota landscape, where its waters expand into the broad reach of Lake Oahe. The map details a complex shoreline defined by numerous indentations, including Buffalo Bay, Steamboat Bay, and Swift Bird Bay. These features reflect the contemporary geography of the Missouri after the mid-century damming projects, which transformed the river valley into a series of massive reservoirs.
