2015 Map of Okobojo

About this map

Sully Buttes rise above the high plains of Sully County in this modern survey, marking a distinct break in the prairie topography. The small settlement of Okobojo is located in the southeastern portion of the map, situated near the confluence of Okobojo Creek and the waters of Lake Okobojo. The landscape is defined by the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with a grid of gravel and paved roads like 284th Ave and 185th St dividing the land into mile-wide sections. This agricultural layout is interrupted only by natural drainages such as Bakers Gulch and the winding path of Okobojo Creek. The map documents a contemporary rural South Dakota environment where large-scale farming and ranching dominate the land use, centered around the few remaining named points of local identity.
