Little Bend defines this portion of the Missouri River, where the water transitions into the expansive waters of Lake Oahe. This geography marks a critical point of convergence between Dewey, Sully, and Stanley counties. The landscape is dominated by the flooded river valley, which has transformed the traditional riverbank into a complex shoreline. The map illustrates the contemporary boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including T116N R82W and T115N R82W, superimposed over the modern reservoir. The intricate contour lines along the shores of the bend reveal the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the Missouri River breaks, providing a clear visualization of the terrain submerged or reshaped by the Missouri River's mid-century damming projects.
