2015 Map of West of Stony Butte

About this map

Ft. Pierre National Grassland dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Jones County terrain, illustrating the protected prairie landscape of central South Dakota in the mid-2010s. The area is defined by the drainage systems of W Br War Cr and E Br War Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the Missouri River basin. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the region, where a grid of section-line roads like 282nd Ave and 227th St facilitates movement between scattered water management sites. Local water security is evidenced by named catchments including Sheriff Reservoir in the north and the Kennedy Number One Reservoir further south, essential markers for understanding land use and livestock management in this semi-arid ranching environment.
