2015 Map of Battle Creek Butte

About this map

Battle Creek Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Butte County, South Dakota, anchoring a landscape defined by its high plains drainage patterns. The area is dissected by several named watercourses, including Battle Cr in the north and the meandering Porcupine Cr and Antelope Cr to the south. These ephemeral and perennial streams have carved distinct topographic features such as Hawks Nest Draw, which illustrates the erosion-prone nature of the local terrain. Transportation across this rural expanse is facilitated by Old Highway 85, running north-south through the eastern townships, and Camp Crook Rd at the southwestern edge. The map reflects the enduring cadastral organization of the region, showing the township and range divisions of T13N and T12N that have governed land use and ranching boundaries for over a century.
