About this map

Barthold Flat and Carnahan Flat dominate this high-plains landscape in Haakon County, where the terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage draws. The area is defined by its expansive grazing lands and a rural road network that follows section lines, including Ash Creek Rd and Four Corners Rd. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by Indian Springs and the meandering courses of Bridger Cr, Ash Cr, and Indian Springs Cr.

Family history is anchored at the Dowling Cem, a lone landmark in the southwestern portion of the map. The geography reveals a classic western South Dakota rangeland, characterized by named topographic features like Elm Tree Draw, Hall Draw, and Haxby Draw. This survey illustrates the persistent ranching character of the region, where wide-open spaces are segmented primarily by township boundaries such as t6n r18e.
