2021 Map of Menominee

About this map

The Missouri National Recreation River and Missouri Wild And Scenic River define the northern border of this landscape, separating Nebraska and South Dakota at the confluence with the James River. This 2021 survey shows a rural corridor preserved in its natural state, where the river braids around features like Rush Island. Just south of the bluffs, the small settlements of St. Helena and Menominee anchor a grid of township roads. The map reveals the transition from the river bottomlands to the rolling upland prairies of Cedar County, Nebraska, and Yankton County, South Dakota. While Yankton appears at the northwestern edge, the interior is characterized by agricultural section lines and drainage systems like Antelope Cr and Second Bow Cr. The presence of the Lower Missouri River Trl highlights the area's modern identity as a site for both conservation and recreation along the historic Missouri waterway.
