Elbon and its surrounding ranch lands define this South Dakota landscape in the early 21st century. The map reveals a sparse, agrarian settlement pattern dominated by established family holdings, including the Donald King Ranch, Rick King Ranch, and Kroetch Ranch. This high-plains geography is shaped by the winding course of W Plum Cr and the waters of Kroetch Lake to the south. Transportation in the area relies on the north-south corridor of Highway 73 and local thoroughfares like Hilland Rd, which connect the remote homesteads of Morrison Ranch and Pitchfork Ranch. The distribution of these named ranches illustrates the scale of modern prairie land management in Haakon County.
