2017 Map of Steamboat Creek

About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the northwestern edge of this landscape in Potter County, its waters filling the Missouri River valley and creating distinct inlets like Steamboat Bay and Dodge Bay. The terrain inland is shaped by the winding course of Steamboat Cr, which carves through the prairie uplands before reaching the reservoir. This modern topographic survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the region, where a network of section-line roads such as 148th St and 149th St grid the high ground between the drainage draws. The transition from the flat agricultural plateaus to the incised breaks along the water is captured in detail, including the remote path of Dodge Draw Rd as it descends toward the bay. The map also delineates the precise boundary between Walworth Co and Potter Co in the northern portion of the quadrangle.
