About this map

Butler serves as the central hub of this Custer County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to slope toward the Washita National Wildlife Refuge in the southwest. The town is surrounded by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the winding Barnitz Creek and its western tributaries like Crooked Creek. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial sites are documented across the plains, such as Shiloh Cem in the north and Osceola Cem further east, alongside the Butler Cem near the town center.

The 1980s economy of the region is clearly visible through the presence of numerous Gas Wells and Drill Holes dotting the sections. Industrial infrastructure like a prominent Pipeline and a municipal Sewage Disposal Ponds facility highlight the modern utilities of the era. Significant land use changes are indicated by an Abandoned roadbed southwest of town, tracing a path through the rolling hills toward Pitts Creek.
