2015 Map of Pierre

About this map

Pierre and Fort Pierre sit at the strategic confluence where the Bad River meets the Missouri River, a geographic relationship that has defined the capital city's history. This 2015 layout shows the urban core of Pierre, including its state capitol vicinity near Hilgers Gulch and the grid of residential streets such as W Capitol Ave and E Wells Ave. South of the city center, the Missouri widens into Lake Sharpe, dominated by the large river islands of La Framboise Island and Farm Island. To the south, the terrain shifts from the river valley to the expansive plains of the Ft. Pierre National Grassland, where the land is carved by smaller seasonal drainages like Gray Blanket Cr and Antelope Cr. The map also captures the city's peripheral infrastructure, including the Riverside Cem and the Pierre Regional Airport to the east.
