2015 Map of Dogie Butte

About this map

Dogie Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of the northern Great Plains, situated at the border between Bowman County, North Dakota, and Harding County, South Dakota. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainage systems, including Fivemile Cr, Sevenmile Cr, and Arnett Cr, which carve through the high prairie. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and agricultural region where the grid of the Public Land Survey System dictated early settlement patterns. Modern local infrastructure is represented by rural thoroughfares such as Miller Pl and Gunderson Pl, while the state line creates a distinct administrative boundary across the terrain. The presence of these named drainages and local roads reflects the enduring importance of water access and land division in this semi-arid rangeland.
