2012 Map of Sansarc NE

About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the northern horizon of this central South Dakota landscape, defining the character of the Missouri River country in the early twenty-first century. The map details a ranching-focused interior where isolated operations like Vanderveer Ranch, West Ranch, and Schiesser Ranch are connected by a network of drainage systems, most notably the meandering Foster Cr. The terrain shifts from the level expanses of Marion Flats near Foster Bay Rd to the intricate, eroded fingers of the shoreline. Small family or community burial sites, including Walking Horse Cem and Lindsay Cem, provide important genealogical markers in this sparsely populated region, anchoring the local history to specific landholdings and family names such as the Young Ranch.
