A Note From Cottonwood Corners

A Note From Cottonwood Corners

The two Bijou Hills adjacent to the Missouri River in south-central South Dakota were prominent landmarks for all voyagers who traveled up the river by boat or on land. The outcrops on both hills were clearly visible from the river and surrounding territory. They are part of a series of bold, irregular bluffs, much more elevated than any surrounding ones, extending for nearly thirty miles.
