About this map

Westover stands at the northern edge of this South Dakota landscape, where the meandering course of the White River meets the drainages of Ash Cr and Horse Cr. The topography is defined by the sharp dissected breaks and ridges typical of the region, specifically around the confluence where the Little White River winds northward to join the main channel. The map reveals a remote pastoral setting, with the Mellette and Jones county line weaving across the river valley, marking a transition between high tablelands and eroded river bottoms.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the Saint Phillip Cem located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation across the rolling plains is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Little White River Rd, Two Kettle Rd, and Gusty Ridge Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. These features highlight the enduring ranching character of the territory as it appeared in the early 21st century.
