2015 Map of Dog Ear Lake

About this map

Dog Ear Lake sits as the central geographic landmark in this portion of Tripp County, an area defined by the orderly grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map shows the intersection of four townships, including T97n R77w and T96n R77w, where the landscape is etched by a series of numerical section lines. The seasonal drainage of Willow Cr meanders through the southwestern corner, providing one of the few natural breaks in the systematic road network. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain dominated by agriculture and rural access, with roads such as 292nd St and 313th Ave facilitating movement across the high plains. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the enduring rural character of this Ideal Segment region, where property boundaries and section roads follow the strict geometry established over a century ago.
