2012 Map of Saint Charles

About this map

Oscar Micheaux Cr flows through the southern portion of this Gregory County landscape, a name that recalls the legacy of the pioneering African American filmmaker and homesteader who settled in this region. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage networks, including Ponca Cr and Burnt Rock Cr, which carve through the plains. Local water bodies such as Haisch Lake and Bonesteel Lake serve as distinct landmarks within the rural township structure. Transportation in the early 21st century follows a rigid grid of section-line roads and county routes, including Co Hwy-34b St Charles Twp Hwy and 384th Ave. This survey captures the agricultural character of the area surrounding Saint Charles, where the intersection of natural watercourses and man-made infrastructure reveals the long-term patterns of prairie settlement and land use.
