2012 Map of Mouth of Mission Creek

About this map

The White River carves a meandering course through the southern South Dakota plains, serving as the dominant hydrological feature of this Tripp County landscape. This drainage basin is defined by several significant tributaries, including Mission Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which cut through the high ground to join the main river. The area's transportation network is anchored by Route 183, which runs north-to-south and crosses the river, connecting rural sections along a rigid grid of local roads such as 252nd St and 260th St. This 2012 survey illustrates the relationship between these prairie watercourses and the modern infrastructure designed to traverse them, showing the placement of stream crossings and the relative isolation of the river's floodplains from the primary road corridors.
