About this map

The high plains of South Dakota are mapped here at the boundary of Butte and Meade counties during the late 1970s. This landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Camp Creek and Lottie Creek flow through open country toward the south. Social life and community centers are found in the northeast corner of the quadrangle, where St Josephs Ch and the Mud Butte Sch stand as local landmarks for the surrounding ranching district.

Evidence of early rural settlement is preserved in features like the Plum Draw Cem, situated near the head of Plum Draw. The terrain is characterized by winding watercourses and subtle shifts in elevation, with Sulphur Creek cutting through the southern sections. This survey provides a record of the area as it existed just after the mid-1970s, showing the intersection of local township lines and the transit route of Highway 212.
