2015 Map of Table Mountain

About this map

Karinen sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the state boundary between North Dakota and South Dakota intersects with the line between Bowman and Harding Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises and drainage systems, most notably Table Mtn and Dead Horse Butte in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These landmarks, along with Long Grassy Butte to the north, serve as significant navigational points in an area characterized by a network of intermittent streams including Sevenmile Cr, Fivemile Cr, and Lone Tree Cr. Local roads like Cox Rd and Miller Pl weave through the section lines, connecting ranching landmarks such as Cooper Hill and the deep cuts of Gallager Draw. This topography reflects the cattle-country geography of the northern Great Plains, where every named draw and butte carries significance for land management and local history.
