2015 Map of Lake Andes NW

About this map

Geddes stands as the primary settlement in this portion of Charles Mix County, situated amidst the high plains of South Dakota. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the flat agricultural grid of the interior toward the steep bluffs overlooking the Missouri River. This 2015 survey shows the modern extent of Lake Francis Case, a massive reservoir created by the damming of the river. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Anns Cem and Pleasant Lawn Cem, reflecting the enduring community presence in this rural landscape. Unique water features such as Varilek Fishpond Number One and Varilek Fishpond Number Two indicate specialized land use alongside natural drainages like Pease Cr and Spring Cr. The map reveals how the section line roads, including SD-1804, navigate the increasingly complex terrain as it drops toward the river valley.
