About this map

Forest City stands as a primary point of reference on the eastern bank of the Missouri River, where the landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Oahe. The map details a significant bend in the river, showing how the reservoir has shaped the geography of both Dewey and Potter counties. Topographic contours reveal the steep bluffs and complex drainage patterns leading down to the water, notably around Dolphus Peninsula. The road network is sparse, centered on rural routes like Swift Bird and grid-aligned sections such as 160th St, reflecting the area's transition between the rolling uplands and the river valley. This survey captures the rural character of the region, emphasizing the scale of the Missouri's course through central South Dakota.
