2015 Map of Joe Creek

About this map

Lake Sharpe and the Missouri River define the southern edge of this landscape, marking the boundary between Hughes and Lyman counties. The terrain is characterized by the complex drainage system of Joe Cr, which cuts through the upland breaks before reaching the reservoir. This 2015 survey shows a rural infrastructure dominated by a strictly gridded road network, including 316th Ave and 219th St, which serve the agricultural sections of the Big Bend District. The intersection of Westbend Rd and Bia-15 provides access to the shoreline, reflecting the importance of the river for both local transport and regional geography in central South Dakota.
