About this map

The high plains of Haakon County are defined here by a network of drainage systems and established family ranchlands. Settled sites like Heeb Ranch, Hickman Ranch, and Nelson Ranch are situated among the prairie landscape, often located near the vital water sources provided by Mitchell Cr and Witcher Holes Cr. The map illustrates the sparsely populated character of the West River region, where the primary land use remains large-scale ranching as evidenced by Buls Ranch to the south. Several seasonal waterways, including Sarah Laribee Cr, Nowlin Cr, and Buzzard Cr, create a distinct topography across the quadrangle, which is otherwise marked by an organized grid of section lines and gravel access roads.
