2012 Map of Oahe SW

About this map

Murray Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of Stanley County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Bad River, which is paralleled by Bad River Rd. This area reflects the rural character of central South Dakota in the early 21st century, where large-scale landforms like Government Draw dictate the local geography. Numerous intermittent streams, including Lance Cr, Ash Cr, and Tomahawk Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural water runoff patterns toward the Missouri River basin. The presence of Cactus Pl near the river indicates the limited but vital road infrastructure supporting the ranching or agricultural operations in this expansive prairie environment.
