2014 Map of Doaks Butte

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Harding County, South Dakota, and Bowman County, North Dakota. This high plains landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Boxelder Creek and Arnett Cr feed into the river valley. A notable topographic landmark, Doaks Butte, rises above the surrounding flats, serving as a primary orientation point for the region. The map highlights the intersection of state lines and county boundaries, illustrating the sparse but organized road network that follows the section lines, such as CR-867 and 173rd Ave SW. Smaller waterways like Soda Cr, Scott Cr, and Doyle Cr underscore the complex hydrological character of this prairie environment, where water sources have long dictated land use and property boundaries.
