2020 Map of Reader

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders across this landscape, forming the natural boundary between Clark, Nevada, and Ouachita counties. The river valley is defined by intricate wetlands and oxbow features like Horseshoe Bend, Minnie Slough, and Bolin Slough. On the northern banks, the terrain rises toward Bull Mtn and Gores Peak, while the southern reaches contain the settlements of Reader and Sayre. This area is characterized by its network of rural roads, including Kansas RD and Co RD 40, which connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites documented, such as Bethlehem Cem, Jenkins Cem, and the Lewis Randolph Grave. Further east, the landscape transitions into the bottomlands near Salt Lake and Barton Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the basin south of Whelen Springs.
