2024 Map of Chalk Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses the dominant elevated terrain of the Chalk Buttes in this high-plains landscape. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes at Trenk Pass and the drainage networks of Buffalo Creek and South Spring Creek, which flow away from the central highlands. Land use in this corner of Carter County is marked by isolated aviation and ranching infrastructure, such as the Laird Ranch Airport, situated on the flatter southern reaches near the Blue Mud Hills. A network of water sources including Foster Spring, Mud Spring, and Birch Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment. The presence of Chalk Buttes Rd and its associated spur provides the primary access through the draws and passes of the forest boundary.
