2015 Map of Brushy Butte

About this map

Brushy Butte rises above the open range of Bennett County, defining the local topography in this sparsely settled portion of South Dakota. The landscape is characterized by the winding drainage of Pass Cr, which cuts through the plains across several townships. Surveyed in the early 21st century, the map reveals a strict section-line road grid that dictates movement across the prairie, featuring routes such as 280th St and 286th St. Local history is anchored by specific rural thoroughfares like the evocatively named Poison Ivy Rd, while the intersection of Cr-14 and 234th Ave highlights the infrastructure supporting the area's agricultural operations. The map provides a precise look at the land division within T39N R35W and surrounding townships, showing the relationship between natural watercourses and the human-imposed geometry of the West.
