2021 Map of May Ranch

About this map

May Ranch sits as the central point of interest in this cattle-country landscape along the border of Haakon and Stanley Counties. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Cottonwood Cr and Big Prairie Dog Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the east and north. In the early 21st century, the area remains deeply rural, with a grid of section lines and gravel paths like Dusty Ridge Rd and 249th Ave providing the only terrestrial structure across the rolling grasslands. The mapping of township and range lines, including t4n r24e and t5n r25e, highlights the enduring Public Land Survey System that governs this expansive South Dakota range land.
