2021 Map of Doty Ridge

About this map

Doty Ridge defines the central topography of this Stanley County landscape, where the high ground divides numerous drainage systems including Brush Cr and Lance Cr. The settlement pattern is characterized by widely dispersed ranching operations and small communities such as Lacy, Van Metre, and Wendte. These locales, along with family-named sites like Fratzke Ranch and Hohrman Ranch, reflect the enduring agricultural character of the region. A network of rural roads, including Bunkhouse Rd and 262nd Ave, provides access across the township and range divisions. The southern portion of the map is marked by the meandering path of Plum Cr, while Tomahawk Cr cuts through the eastern sections, illustrating the complex hydrology that has shaped land use and property boundaries in this part of South Dakota.
