2021 Map of Dogie Butte

About this map

Dogie Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this prairie landscape, where the high plains of South Dakota meet the southern edge of North Dakota. The area is defined by a sparse network of watercourses, including Arnett Cr to the south and Fivemile Cr and Sevenmile Cr in the north. This borderland territory, documented in the 21st century, preserves the rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System, which remains the primary organizing force for human movement across the terrain. Rural routes such as Miller Pl and 99th St Sw provide the only access through this ranching and energy-producing region, as evidenced by Oil Well Rd near the northern boundary. The geography highlights the transition between Harding County and Bowman County, reflecting the enduring isolation and agricultural character of the Great Plains.
