2012 Map of Westover

About this map

The confluence of the White River and Little White River dominates this portion of Mellette County, where the meandering waterways carve through the South Dakota landscape. Near the northern boundary, the settlement of Westover sits along the riverbanks, serving as a focal point in a region defined by its drainage basins and rural road networks. Further south, the Saint Phillip Cem offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of the Swift Bear Segment. The topography is shaped by several tributaries, including Cottonwood Cr, Ash Cr, and Horse Cr, which feed into the larger river systems. Transportation in the early 21st century relied on a grid of local routes such as Jones Co Hwy 58 and Co Rd S6, providing access to the isolated homesteads and pastures characteristic of the Great Plains.
