2017 Map of Mosher

About this map

Mosher sits at the center of this 2017 study of south-central South Dakota, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainage systems of the Rosebud Indian Reservation region. This map illustrates a rural environment of wide-open rangeland and intricate creek beds, most notably Oak Cr and its tributaries such as White Horse Cr. The presence of the Advent Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Mellette County. To the south, the terrain crosses the border into Todd County, showing the transition between administrative townships. While modern roads like 267th St and 274th St provide access, the underlying topography of De Bell Cr and McChesneys Cr reveals the natural hydrology that has dictated land use and settlement patterns in this area for generations.
