About this map

The Missouri River frontage defines the southwestern corner of this modern topography in Charles Mix County. This reach of the Missouri National Recreation River preserves a rare section of the waterway that remains relatively free-flowing, characterized by sandbars and shifting channels that have largely disappeared elsewhere due to damming. Further inland, the landscape of the Great Plains is etched by the drainage of Sevenmile Cr, Mosquito Cr, and the deeply incised Black Timber Gulch, which cut through the high prairie toward the river valley. The agrarian layout of the early 21st century is marked by a precise grid of section-line roads, such as 387th Ave and 297th St, while the Cedar Presbyterian Cem stands as a quiet focal point for local genealogy and regional history.
