About this map

The settlement of Ottumwa anchor this high plains landscape in Haakon County, situated near the banks of Ottumwa Lake. This 1980s-era survey documents a region defined by its ranching heritage, with prominent family-named holdings distributed across the terrain, including Schofield Ranch, Heeb Ranch, and Hostutler Ranch. A complex network of drainage systems such as Mule Creek, Mitchell Creek, and Jack Dailey Creek carves through the landscape, illustrating the importance of water access for livestock in this environment. The presence of the Armstrong Landing Strip near the Armstrong Ranch highlights the necessity of private aviation for transport and land management in these remote western stretches of South Dakota. Local travel is facilitated by the Ottumwa Road, which connects the small community to the surrounding rural ranchlands.
