2017 Map of Glencross SE

About this map

Yellowhorse Ford sits along the winding course of the Moreau River, a central geographical feature in this part of Dewey County. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of several named tributaries, including Marshall Creek, Veo Cr, and Jewett Cr, which carve through the plains. This 2017 survey reflects a largely open, rural environment where the human footprint is concentrated near these watercourses and along the routes of BIA Hwy 4 and Marshall Creek Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Saint Theresa Catholic Cem and Emmanuel Episcopal Cem, both situated south of the river. These sites, along with the various labeled creeks like Swan Cr and Whitehorse Cr, anchor the map in a specific era of South Dakota's rural history.
