About this map

The Missouri National Recreational River forms a wide, braided corridor across the northern reach of this quadrangle, defining the state boundary between South Dakota and Nebraska. The landscape transitions from the broad alluvial floor of the Missouri River valley into the dissected uplands of northern Newcastle Township. Small agrarian settlements including Maskell and Lime Grove are situated along the western hills, connected by a network of rural routes like Ne-12 and Ne-15.

Genealogical interest is found at the Maskell Cem and Lime Creek Cem, while the southern portion of the map is defined by water management features like Aowa Creek Reservoir 61-3 and the recreation-focused Buckskin Hills Lake. The convergence of Aowa Cr and numerous smaller drainages such as Deer Cr and Turkey Cr illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into the Missouri, which remains the primary geographic feature of the region.
