2015 Map of Hilltop Diamond Ring Ranch

About this map

Hilltop Diamond Ring Ranch sits in the high plains of Haakon County, illustrating a landscape defined by expansive ranching operations and a sparse network of section-line roads. The drainage patterns of Plum Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Burnt Cr carve the terrain, dictating the placement of early 21st-century rural infrastructure. This area reflects the enduring homesteading legacy of western South Dakota, where family-named landmarks and remote burial sites such as Mattison Cem serve as primary anchors for local history and genealogy. The map details the transition between township ranges, including t4n r23e and t5n r24e, showing how modern county roads like Ottumwa Rd and Teaney Rd follow the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System while navigating the natural breaks and coulees.
