2017 Map of Dogie Butte

About this map

The state line between North Dakota and South Dakota bisects this prairie landscape, where the drainage systems of Fivemile Cr and Arnett Cr carve deep patterns into the high plains. In the southern half of the quadrangle, Dogie Butte serves as a prominent navigational landmark above the headwaters of Dogie Cr. The map captures a moment of transition in Harding County, showing how modern energy infrastructure, represented by Oil Well Rd, has been overlaid upon the traditional ranching landscape. Sections of the public land survey system are clearly delineated, tracing the boundaries of t23n r2e and t23n r3e. This 2017 survey reflects a sparsely populated area where named roads like Miller Pl and 99th St Sw provide the primary human skeleton for a terrain dominated by seasonal creek beds and geographic rises.
