2017 Map of West of Stony Butte

About this map

Fort Pierre National Grassland dominates this portion of Jones County, preserving a vast expanse of open prairie as it appeared in 2017. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the E Br War Cr and W Br War Cr, which carve through the landscape south of the Sheriff Reservoir. This survey illustrates the essential role of water management in this arid region, highlighted by features like the Kennedy Number One Reservoir. The transportation network is sparse, primarily composed of rural routes such as Co Rd N 15 and Angus Dr, reflecting a low-density ranching environment where section lines dictate the movement of people and livestock across the rolling grasslands.
