2015 Map of Carlin Flat

About this map

The Cheyenne River snakes through the heart of this landscape, defining the rugged boundary between Ziebach and Haakon counties. The river valley is flanked by wide, low-lying terraces including Arnold Bottoms and Carlin Bottoms, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding tablelands. These high plains are marked by distinct topographical features such as Circle P Flats and Carlin Flat, which represent the open rangeland character of this central South Dakota region. Rural life and legacy are anchored at Buffalo Cem and along a network of remote tracks like Cherry Creek Rd and Bia-12. The drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, with numerous intermittent coulees such as Carlin Draw, Feeney Draw, and Robbs Draw carving into the upland flats. This survey provides a precise view of the land as managed through the Public Land Survey System, showing the township lines of T9N R23E and T9N R24E.
