2017 Map of Patch Skin Buttes SW

About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the southern landscape of this Dewey County region, where the Missouri River's impoundment has created expansive water features like Stove Creek Bay. The terrain rises from these shores into a network of drainages including Scatter Butte Cr and Stove Cr. The settlement of Marksville sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while Gray Butte serves as both a prominent topographic landmark and a named locality to the northwest. This 2017 survey illustrates the modern transportation network supporting the Cheyenne River Reservation, characterized by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as BIA Hwy 7 and BIA Hwy 8. The intersection of these roads and the local topography highlights the rural infrastructure of the northern plains, where ranching and tribal land management define the land use patterns.
