2015 Map of Kenel

About this map

Kenel sits atop the high ground of the Missouri Plateau in this mid-2010s survey, overlooking the expansive waters of Lake Oahe where it meets the Missouri River. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the flat agricultural sections in the west to the deeply eroded breaks and coulees that drop toward the eastern shoreline. Significant for genealogical research, the map identifies local burial sites including Saint Thomas Cem and Saint Lukes Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks within this rural expanse. Drainage systems like Blackhawk Cr and Mad Bear Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural watershed patterns of Corson County. The grid-based road system, featuring routes like 109th St and BIA Rd 3, provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure supporting this remote riverine community.
