2015 Map of Lower Brule SW

About this map

Lake Sharpe dominates the northern landscape of this South Dakota interior, where the Missouri River defines the boundary between Hughes and Lyman counties. The terrain south of the reservoir is marked by the intricate drainage systems of Medicine Creek and its tributary, Bad Horse Cr, which cut through the high prairie bluffs. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of the Big Bend District, where movement is dictated by a rigid grid of rural corridors such as 225th St and 321st Ave. A primary north-south artery, S Nation Rd, winds across the hills toward the water, reflecting the intersection of modern infrastructure and the natural contours of the river valley.
