2021 Map of Carlin Flat

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds across this landscape on the border of Haakon and Ziebach counties, carving a distinct valley through the South Dakota plains. The map reveals a series of named riverside lowlands, including Arnold Bottoms and Carlin Bottoms, which sit below the higher elevations of Circle P Flats and Robbs Flat. These flatland areas and various drainages like Carlin Draw and Feeney Draw define the local topography and land use patterns in this ranching country. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of the Buffalo Cem and Circle P Springs provides specific points of interest tied to early settlement and water access in this western prairie environment. The road network remains sparse, centered on routes such as Rte 12 and Robbs Flat Rd.
