About this map

The village of Butte serves as a focal point for this section of Boyd County near the Nebraska-South Dakota border. Settled atop the prairie landscape, the town is characterized by its grid of streets including Broadway St and Sample St, with Harvey Buttes rising just to the south. The surrounding rural area is punctuated by historical burial grounds that reflect the community's early heritage, such as Old Settlers Cem, Lutheran Cem, and Saints Peter and Paul Cem.

Hydrography in this region is defined by the winding course of Ponca Cr, which is supported by several local water management features like Reiser Reservoir and Lampman Reservoir Number 1. To the north, the small settlement of Anoka sits along Railroad St, illustrating the importance of transport links in connecting these remote agricultural communities. The terrain is further etched by numerous drainages including Tobacco Cr, Dizzy Cr, and Spring Cr, creating a complex network of draws and ridges across the county line.
