About this map

Doty Ridge rises above the drainage basins of central South Dakota, anchoring a landscape defined by expansive ranching operations and intermittent watercourses. The territory is organized around a network of rural routes such as Bunk House Rd and 262nd Ave, which connect several named agricultural holdings including the Fratzke Ranch, Princes Ranch, and Hohrman Ranch.

Drainage is dominated by the winding paths of Brush Cr and Lance Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside Plum Cr and Tomahawk Cr. This 2015 survey reflects the enduring spatial patterns of Stanley County, where life and commerce are tied to these water sources and established ranch sites like Lacy, Van Metre, and Wendte. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, from T5N R27E down through T3N R28E, essential for local property and genealogical research.
