About this map

The town of Butler serves as the primary hub in this portion of Custer County, situated near the headwaters of several drainage systems. The surrounding landscape is defined by an extensive water management network of the Barnitz Creek watershed, including dozens of engineered structures such as Barnitz Creek Site 51 Reservoir and Barnitz Creek Site 48 Dam. These reservoirs and dams, like Adams Dam and Creach Dam, reflect a highly modified prairie environment designed for flood control and water storage.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites across the section lines, including Butler Cemetery just north of town, Shiloh Cemetery near the northern border, and Osceola Cemetery to the northeast. The rural grid is intersected by local watercourses like Comet Creek, Pitts Creek, and Crooked Creek, which provide natural relief to the orderly arrangement of east-west and north-south section roads.
