2015 Map of Mail Shack Creek

About this map

Lake Oahe and the massive Missouri River corridor dominate this portion of Central South Dakota, marking the boundary between Stanley and Sully counties. The landscape is characterized by the expansive waters created by the Oahe Dam, with deep inlets like Mail Shack Creek and Sully Creek reaching into the high plains. Rising above the eastern shoreline, the Sully Buttes serve as a prominent landmark in an area defined by a strict section-line road grid, including 184th Street and Pasque Avenue. The presence of the Little Bend Access Road and Bakers Gulch in the north suggests the continued importance of river access and topographical drainage patterns in this sparsely settled prairie environment.
