2012 Map of Oahe Dam

About this map

Oahe Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this Missouri River landscape, regulating the flow between the massive expanse of Lake Oahe to the north and Lake Sharpe downstream. The surrounding terrain of Stanley County is defined by prominent elevations like Brown Hill and the broad reaches of Giddings Flat, where seasonal drainage such as Dry Run carves into the plains. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Scotty Philip Cem, situated near the riverbanks south of the dam. The mapping reveals a transition from managed water resources to rural transport networks, including Trails End Rd and Fort Chouteau Rd, which serve the riverside communities and historical sites near the Missouri's edge.
