Butte sits atop the high ground of the Missouri Coteau, where the border between McHenry Co and McLean Co marks the landscape. This 2014 survey captures the settlement's relationship with the prominent elevation of Dogden Butte to the southwest, a landmark that defines the local topography. To the north, Cottonwood Lake provides a natural counterpoint to the orderly grid of section roads like 30th St N and 24th St NW. The presence of Railroad Ave within the town center points to the historical importance of rail transport in shaping this prairie community, even as modern state and county routes like CR-33 serve as the primary conduits for travel through this agricultural region.
