2012 Map of Whiteman Ranch

About this map

Whiteman Ranch and several other family-named outposts define this stretch of Haakon County, documenting a landscape where agricultural landholdings remain the primary markers of human presence. The topography is shaped by an intricate drainage system including the winding Hermaphrodite Cr and Lone Tree Cr, which cut through the plains. The spatial arrangement of these ranch sites, such as Alleman Ranch in the north and Jacobsen Ranch to the south, reflects the low-density settlement patterns typical of central South Dakota's ranching economy.
