2011 Map of Bodarc

About this map

Bodarc Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this remote corner of Sioux County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of drainage and local irrigation infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Warbonnet Creek and Hat Creek, which dictate the placement of ranch roads like Pants Butte Rd and Hat Creek Rd. This area is notable for its numerous small-scale water management features, including the Bill Coffee Reservoir Number 1 and Crystal Lake Reservoir. Distinctive topographical formations such as Lady in the Shoe and Sowbelly Canyon provide unique navigational reference points. The map documents a ranching landscape where named dams like Zimmerman Dam and Plunkett Dam represent significant private investment in the local cattle economy and water security.
