2021 Map of Joe Creek

About this map

Lake Sharpe dominates the southern reaches of this South Dakota landscape, defining the boundary between Hughes and Lyman counties. The terrain north of the reservoir is marked by the winding path of Joe Creek, which carves through the Missouri River breaks. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and rural residential pattern, with long-established property lines organized by the Public Land Survey System across townships T108N and T109N. Local history is anchored at Saint Catherine's Cem, situated near BIA Rd 1. The road network, including names like Nachtigal Rd and Lonesome Pl, reflects a landscape of isolated homesteads and tribal land management, as evidenced by several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes serving the area.
