Lake Sharpe dominates the northern boundary of this high plains landscape, a reservoir created by the damming of the Missouri River. The terrain south of the water is defined by the drainage of Bad Horse Creek, which meanders southeast across a vast, open prairie. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated section of central South Dakota where the grid of modern section roads meets the natural contours of the river breaks. Transport across the territory is served by North-South and East-West corridors including Co Hwy-23 and Co Hwy-30, providing critical links between the remote ranchlands and the Missouri River basin.
