2015 Map of Brewer Butte

About this map

Brewer Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this landscape of the Missouri Plateau, marking the high ground between local drainage basins. The area is defined by the winding course of the Little Moreau River, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle, while High Bank Cr drains the northern reaches. This 2015 survey illustrates a largely open, rural landscape partitioned by a geometric grid of county roads such as 133rd St and 248th Ave. The boundary between Corson County and Dewey County cuts directly across the northern section, following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain's transition from river bottomlands to the elevated plateau around the butte, showing how modern county infrastructure like CR-3b and CR-4 traverses this expansive South Dakota prairie.
