2014 Map of Gross

About this map

The tiny settlement of Gross sits within a landscape of etched drainages and rolling uplands near the South Dakota and Nebraska border. This 2014 survey documents the area just south of the Missouri River, where the Missouri National Recreational River corridor protects the natural character of the waterway. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, notably at Ninemile Hill and the deep cut of Ninemile Gulch in the northeast. Local history is anchored by the Gross Cem and Rosedale Cem, providing key points of reference for genealogists tracing families in Boyd County. A network of rural section-line roads, including 905th Rd and Quebec Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots that dominate the interior. Numerous branches of Whisky Cr wind through the hills, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shape this portion of the Great Plains.
