2021 Map of Butte

About this map

The Boyd County Courthouse anchors the settlement of Butte in this contemporary study of northern Nebraska, just south of the South Dakota border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Ponca Creek and its many tributaries, including Dizzy Cr and Tobacco Cr. This area preserves significant genealogical data through a high density of local burial grounds, including the Old Settlers Cem and Anoka Lutheran Cem near the small community of Anoka. To the south, the Harvey Buttes rise above the surrounding terrain, providing a distinct geographic landmark. The map also documents an extensive network of rural water management, featuring several named bodies such as Reiman Reservoir and Lampman Reservoir Number 1. This detailed view of Boyd County illustrates the persistent agricultural and civic layout of the region, from the gridded streets of the county seat to the isolated cemeteries that mark its early history.
