2017 Map of Bull Creek Butte

About this map

Bull Creek Butte dominates the central landscape of this Butte County terrain, where an intricate network of seasonal drainages carves through the South Dakota plains. The map reveals a remote ranching landscape defined by its hydrography, including the winding paths of S Fork Owl Cr and Owl Cr. The convergence of numerous named creeks such as Pearl Cr, Slate Cr, and Magpie Cr suggests a complex watershed that has long shaped land use and property boundaries in this part of the state. Local transit is limited to a few established routes like Kiplinger Rd and Gates-Waite Rd, which provide the primary access to these rangelands. Further south, the terrain is marked by Boxelder Cr, Crow Cr, and Roundout Cr, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns characteristic of the region's geography.
