1964 Map of Whetstone Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Lake Francis Case dominates the eastern horizon of this Gregory County landscape, representing the altered Missouri River valley following mid-century reservoir development. The map details the intricate drainage system where the North Fork and South Fork Whetstone Creek converge before flowing into the expansive Whetstone Bay. Along the western edge, the Rosebud Indian Reservation Boundary marks a significant jurisdictional line through the terrain of Schriever and Whetstone. Local ranching and land use are evidenced by the Mulehead Ranch and several Flowing Wells scattered across the bluffs. The transition from agricultural uplands to the Whetstone Bay Recreation Area illustrates the dual nature of the riverfront as both a working landscape and a public resource during the 1960s.
