2012 Map of Moreau

About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the northern reaches of this Dewey County landscape, its expansive shoreline defining the local geography as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Moreau and the adjacent Blackfoot Community, which serve as the primary focal points of human activity in this rural expanse. A network of local infrastructure connects these points, including Blackfoot Rd and Promise Rd, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is accessed via BIA Hwy 8. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainages feeding into the Missouri River reservoir, notably Hokshela Cr and the various branches of No Mouth Creek, including W Fork No Mouth Cr and E Fork No Mouth Cr. These watercourses illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the northern plains, carved out before the area's hydrology was transformed by the lake's inundation.
