About this map

Lacy sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape in Stanley County, where the terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages feeding toward the Missouri River system. The modern extent of Lake Oahe is visible in the northeast, a massive reservoir that altered the historic river valley. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching region characterized by named topographic features like Anderson Ridge and several prominent draws, including True Draw, Casey Draw, and Government Draw.

Transport is limited to long-established rural routes such as Mission Ridge Rd and Willow Creek Rd, which navigate the undulating divides between Willow Cr and Ash Cr. These roads follow the high ground, providing a clear look at the land division patterns within townships like t6n r28e and t6n r29e. The map serves as a precise record of the contemporary shoreline and the intricate network of seasonal watercourses that define this part of South Dakota.
