2012 Map of Buzzard Butte

About this map

Buzzard Butte stands as the primary landmark in this section of the South Dakota landscape, overlooking a network of seasonal drainages and local roads. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding courses of Settin Up Cr in the northern portion and Buzzard Cr further south, while Horse Cr cuts through the southwest corner. The area is marked by a grid of rural routes including Cs 63 and Cs 54, which facilitate travel through this open terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in Bennett County during the early 21st century, illustrating how local roads like 228th Ave follow the section lines across the prairie. The geography here is typical of the High Plains, where watercourses like Settin Up Cr carve intricate paths through the land.
