About this map

The Moreau River carves a deep path through this Dewey County landscape, defining the topography of this part of South Dakota. In the northeastern corner, the expansive waters of Lake Oahe begin to widen, fed by numerous seasonal drainages including Handboy Cr and Marshall Cr. The rugged river breaks are intersected by a modest network of routes such as Bia Hwy 4, which provides access to the spiritual and communal focal points of the area.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Saint Marys Church Cem near the riverbanks and the UCC Cem located further north. These sites, along with the numerous named creeks like Blue Beaver Cr and Johnson Cr, mark the enduring footprints of rural life and indigenous heritage within the Cheyenne River Reservation boundaries during the early twenty-first century.
