About this map

The Moreau River meanders across the southern landscape of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, defining a terrain of river bends and drainage coulees. This mid-century survey reveals a rural community anchored by the St Pauls Ch and Emmanuel Ch, with the Emmanuel Cem serving as a primary site for genealogical interest.

A notable river crossing, Yellowhorse Ford, is located near a prominent bend in the Moreau, suggesting the historical movement of people and livestock through the breaks before modern infrastructure. The map also traces several named drainages like Jewett Creek, Whitehorse Creek, and Jolley Creek that feed into the larger river system. To the east, Swan Lake and its associated Swan Creek provide a distinct contrast to the more dissected upland areas.
