2017 Map of Niobrara NW

About this map

The Charles Mix County Waterfowl Production Area anchors the northern portion of this landscape, reflecting South Dakota's commitment to prairie wetland preservation. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Choteau Creek and its smaller tributaries like Bull Creek and Spring Creek, which drain toward the Missouri National Recreation River at the southern edge. The map reveals a highly structured rural grid of section-line roads, such as Co Hwy 5 and 399th Ave, which facilitate movement through the agricultural uplands. Many roads carry local family names, including Blaha Rd, Houska Rd, and Beeson Rd, offering valuable clues for genealogists researching the historic landholding patterns and legacy families of Charles Mix County in the 21st century.
