2015 Map of Owen Lake

About this map

Owen Lake serves as a central landmark in this portion of Perkins County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Thunder Butte Cr in the north and the multi-branched Cone Tree Cr to the south. This area demonstrates the expansive township and range survey system, with a strictly defined grid of section lines and gravel routes such as 180th Ave and 179th Ave cutting across the terrain. Smaller waterways like Smith Cr and Pickles Cr illustrate the subtle elevation changes characteristic of this region. The infrastructure is primarily oriented toward ranching and rural access, with arterial paths like Owen Lake Rd and CR-11 connecting isolated sections of the plains.
