About this map

Lake Francis Case dominates this Missouri River landscape, following the construction of the Fort Randall Dam downstream. The shoreline is characterized by numerous inlets and draws, where intermittent streams such as Fivemile Cr and N Fork Whetstone Cr meet the reservoir. The topography reflects the transitional prairie of South Dakota, with the upland areas to the east and west of the lake primarily organized by a grid of rural section roads. Local transport and land use are centered around S Dakota Hwy 1804 and family-named routes like Wynia Ranch Rd and 5 Mile Ranch Rd, which provide access to the expansive ranching properties and the rugged breaks leading down to the water's edge.
