Planning a hunt near Lantry? The Dewey County hunting map is really two maps: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. This Dewey County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Getting started with the Dewey County hunting map
If you're looking near Green Grass, start with South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for public areas, along with seasons and regulations.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Lots and tracts near Timber Lake can be looked up on the Dewey County CAMAvision map, which opens without registering. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Green Grass and click the parcel itself. For a parcel near La Plant, copy the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Dewey County meets Corson County, Haakon County, Potter County, Stanley County, and Sully County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Isabel can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. In and around North Eagle Butte, our state page links each neighboring county map for South Dakota.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Timber Lake, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Reading boundaries on the county map
Private boundaries come from the Dewey County CAMAvision map, with owner names for tracts near North Eagle Butte.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Around Isabel, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Register of Deeds. Long-held tracts near Eagle Butte can trace back through several deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
A word on accuracy
For a parcel near North Eagle Butte, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on the ground. For a tract near North Eagle Butte, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Timber Lake are with the Register of Deeds, usually searchable by name or document number. Zoning, permits and septic questions near North Eagle Butte need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Getting a yes
For property near Eagle Butte, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Sections, lots and bearings
South Dakota is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Eagle Butte cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Green Grass vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Swift Bird when you talk to a surveyor.
Safety and courtesy
Leave gates as you found them on land near Swift Bird, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
Getting your bearings
Timber Lake holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Eagle Butte, Isabel, Green Grass, and La Plant, each with its own cluster of lots. About 5,208 people call Dewey County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 2,302 square miles. Landmarks such as Missouri River make handy reference points on the map.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Green Grass, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Lantry and its lines keeps working without signal.
Before you go
Check South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state wherever you hunt near North Eagle Butte.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
