About this map

Lake Sharpe dominates this Hughes County landscape, where the Missouri River waters are impounded south of Rousseau. The area is characterized by a series of significant seasonal drainage channels or draws that carve through the prairie towards the river valley. These include Mosteller Draw, Kirley Draw, and Trumbo Draw to the west, while Elm Draw, Carlson Draw, and Tobin Draw define the eastern terrain.

A notable geographic feature known as The Drips sits north of the river, suggesting specific local hydrology or unique surface runoff patterns. The small settlement of Rousseau is positioned along the northern bank, connected by local routes like Medicine Creek Rd and 303rd Ave. On the opposite side of the lake, Fort George Cr and Sand Cr flow into the reservoir, marking a landscape of deep coulees and points such as Stony Point.
