2014 Map of Santee

About this map

Santee occupies the bluffs above the Missouri River in this survey of the Nebraska-South Dakota borderlands. The landscape is defined by the expansive Lewis and Clark Lake to the north, where the river widens behind downstream impoundments, revealing a complex network of Sand Islands and shifting channels. This area, historically significant as part of the Santee Sioux Reservation, shows a distinct residential layout with streets like Medwakanton Ave and Leaf Shoots Dr situated near the river's edge. South of the settlement, the terrain transitions into a series of deeply etched drainages where Hoboe Cr, Lost Cr, and Howe Cr cut through the high ground. The map details the rural infrastructure connecting these plateaus, including Veterans Memorial Dr and numerous section-line roads such as 537 Ave, which provide access to the hinterlands of Knox County.
