About this map

The White River and Little White River converge in this section of Mellette and Jones counties, carving a complex landscape of sharp ridges and winding waterways. The small settlement of Westover sits near the northern boundary, where the river's path creates distinct geographical features like Horseshoe Lake and the mouth of Ash Cr. The area is defined by its rural connectivity, with named routes such as Two Kettle Rd and Little White River Rd following the natural contours of the river valleys.

Local history is anchored by the Saint Phillip Cem located on a rise overlooking the eastern drainage of the Little White River. The terrain becomes increasingly defined by ridges to the south, including the prominent Gusty Ridge and the evocatively named Ghost Face Dr. This survey captures the region's ranching-era infrastructure, showing the relationship between early roadways like River Forks Rd and the primary water sources that sustained development in this part of South Dakota.
