About this map

Lake Sharpe dominates this portion of the Missouri River valley, where the borders of Stanley, Hughes, and Lyman counties converge. The high Missouri plateau is deeply incised by a series of drainages, most notably LaRoche Cr and the successive outlets of First Cr, Second Cr, and Julius Cr. This modern 2021 survey reveals a landscape largely dedicated to ranching and open space, defined by its topographic relief rather than dense settlement.

Genealogical interest is found in the rural church sites that serve as anchors for the local community. Fort George Catholic Church Cem sits on the northern bluffs overlooking the river, while Holy Faith Cem is located further south near Cedar Cr. Local infrastructure is represented by a network of rural routes including Co HWY 21, Cedar Creek Rd, and highway 1806, providing access to the various forks and draws like Straight Cr and S Fork Cedar Cr.
