2011 Map of Butte

About this map

Butte serves as the focal point of this northern Nebraska landscape, situated near the headwaters of several local drainages. The settlement's layout is defined by thoroughfares like Thayer St and Sale Barn Dr, with the Butte Post Office anchoring the town center. The surrounding Boyd County countryside is notably dense with burial grounds, including the Old Settlers Cemetery, Lutheran Cemetery, and Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery, which highlight the area's diverse community heritage. To the north, the small settlement of Anoka sits along Railroad St, while the terrain to the south is marked by the distinctive elevation of Harvey Buttes. Water management is prominent throughout the plains, as evidenced by several engineered structures like Reiser Dam and Lampman Dam Number 1 along the various branches of Ponca Creek and Spring Creek, illustrating the region's reliance on creek-fed reservoirs for agricultural stability.
