About this map

Angostura Reservoir and the winding course of Horsehead Cr define the southwestern landscape of this Fall River County survey. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of county roads, including Co HWY-79 and Co HWY-1, which connect isolated rural points in the semi-arid plains. The northern boundary is marked by the Cheyenne River, while Sand Cr drains the northeastern corner.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted across the sheet, providing vital anchors for local family histories in this part of South Dakota. These include Fairview Cem in the north, Horsehead Cem near its namesake creek, and Smithwick Cem to the east. The primary transportation artery is the shared route of 18 385, which cuts diagonally through the center of the quadrangle, bypassing the more rugged riparian areas.
