About this map

The Missouri River forms a wide, braided corridor along the Nebraska and South Dakota border, a landscape preserved here as the Missouri National Recreational River. On the Nebraska side, the village of St. Helena sits on the bluffs overlooking the river valley, supported by the nearby Saint Helena Cem. To the east, Saint Helena Island sits within the shifting channels of the river, while the southern portion of the map transitions into a network of small streams and agricultural drainage including Bow Cr and Second Bow Cr.

The small settlement of Bow Valley Mills marks the intersection of rural roads near the southern edge of the quadrangle. This area is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, such as Union School Rd and 892nd Rd, which provide access to family farms and the smaller Danisi Cem. The presence of the Yankton Clay Ditch in the north highlights the ongoing efforts to manage the hydrology of the fertile bottomlands near the South Dakota line.
