2021 Map of Crokett Mountains

About this map

Crockett Mountains and several prominent buttes dominate this landscape where the high plains meet the vast waters of Lake Oahe. The map documents a rugged section of the Missouri River valley along the boundary of Dewey and Stanley counties. This modern topographic record reveals the complex drainage patterns of the Sansarc Cr and the Minneconjou Cr systems, which have carved deep draws and ridges into the terrain. Notable landmarks such as Lindsay Butte, Black Butte, and Cedar Butte serve as distinct navigational points in an area otherwise defined by its natural topography. The sparse road network, featuring Minneconjou Rd and Link Rd, suggests a territory primarily used for ranching or conservation, maintaining the open character of the South Dakota prairie.
