About this map

Lake Oahe dominates this 2012 topographic record, its expansive waters filling the Missouri River valley and creating a complex shoreline of inlets and peninsulas. Along the eastern banks, the Dolphus Peninsula extends into the reservoir, served by local routes like Salmon St and providing access to the W Whitlock Rec Area. This landscape is defined by the managed water levels of the dammed river, which reshaped the geography of Potter County in the mid-20th century.

On the southern shore lies Forest City, a settlement positioned near the modern highway crossing. To the west, the map tracks the path of Swift Bird across the open terrain. The grid of rural roads, including 160 St and 291 Ave, highlights the sparse, organized development characteristic of the northern plains, where land use is split between recreation along the water and traditional agricultural activity on the high ground.
