2011 Map of Dogie Butte

About this map

Dogie Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this sparsely populated region of Harding County, characterizing the high plains landscape of western South Dakota. The 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by expansive ranching operations and a complex network of intermittent drainages. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by Olson Dam and the meandering paths of Arnett Creek, Fivemile Creek, and Sevenmile Creek. The Miller Ranch stands as a primary point of human settlement, connected to the wider region by the aptly named Oilwell Rd. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting rural land use, from the scattered stock ponds to the rugged topography that dictates the placement of roads and homesteads.
