2011 Map of Mahto NE

About this map

The Missouri River defines the eastern edge of this landscape, its waters backing into the wide lowlands of Kenel Flats. This 2011 survey of the Kenel District reveals a vast drainage network where numerous named seasonal and permanent streams flow toward the river valley. The water management of the area is highlighted by the Fred Hertel Dam, which controls the flow of Blackfoot Creek. The terrain is further etched by the paths of Fireheart Creek, Joe Bush Creek, and Baldhead Creek, while Hunkpapa Creek cuts across the southern reach. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where local water resources and geography remain the primary features of the land's organization.
