2021 Map of Fratzke Ranch

About this map

Fratzke Ranch occupies a prominent position within this Stanley County landscape, situated where the high plains of South Dakota are carved by intermittent watercourses. The drainage patterns of Lance Creek and Brush Creek define the local topography, with the distinctive Lance Creek Holes suggesting the unique hydrology of this semi-arid region. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a grid of section-line roads such as 256th Ave and 202nd St, alongside private access points like Bertschinger Pl and Blue Pl. This survey provides a clear look at the large-scale ranching operations and public land survey system divisions in the central part of the state, where wide-open rangeland remains the dominant feature.
