Cedar Butte anchors this Mellette County landscape, situated within the Swift Bear Segment. The map reveals a sparsely settled region of the Great Plains characterized by distinct geological features and watercourses. To the northwest, the Cedarbutte Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical interest, while the terrain is defined by descriptive landmarks such as The Devils Backbone and Devils Gate. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the winding path of N Br Pine Cr, which draws from several smaller drainages including the uniquely named Klinking Beard Draw. This 2012 survey illustrates the section-line road network and topography of the South Dakota prairie, highlighting the relationship between the small settlement of Cedar Butte and its surrounding natural landmarks.
