1966 Map of Lower Brule NW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Missouri River waters dominate this mid-1960s landscape, where the formation of Lake Sharpe has fundamentally altered the terrain. The map captures a transitional moment for the region as areas subject to controlled inundation are clearly delineated, reflecting the impact of the Big Bend Dam downstream. Along the western banks, the West Bend Recreation Area and a public Boat Ramp indicate the shift toward water-based recreation that followed the river's transformation. Further inland, the presence of the Boot Bar Sch and Hidden Valley Sch provides essential touchpoints for family historians and genealogists studying the rural education network of Hughes and Lyman Counties. The complex jurisdictional landscape is also meticulously noted, showing the meeting of the Crow Creek Indian Reservation and the Lower Brule Indian Reservation along the river's path.
