About this map

The Missouri River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving a wide alluvial plain where the Nebraska Iowa state line meanders through shifting watercourses like Sandy Point Bend. To the east, the terrain rises toward Bullard Bluff, overlooking a complex system of drainage and agricultural land management. This 2018 survey reveals an engineered water network, including the Soldier River Cutoff, Burcham Ditch, and Old Soldier River Ditch, which redirect flow across the flat lowlands.

Local history is anchored in the small communities of Mondamin and Modale. Several burial sites are preserved across the quadrangle, such as Mondamin Cem, Noyes Cem, Yutsler Cem, and Hauger Cem, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing family ties in Harrison County. The presence of Horseshoe Lake near the southern border highlights the remnants of the river's former path before modern channelization.
