About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a diagonal line across this landscape on the border of Nebraska and South Dakota. At the northern edge of the sheet, the settlement of Whiteclay (Dewing) sits just below the state line, adjacent to the waters of White Clay Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including White Clay Creek, Craven Creek, and Larribee Creek, which create a complex system of ridges and valleys typical of this border region.

Local rural infrastructure is sparse but well-documented, featuring landmarks such as School No 129 and the Extension Chapel. To the southwest, the Abold Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early families in the area. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the transition from open range to established county sections.
