About this map

Chance serves as the focal point of this Perkins County landscape, situated where Chance Rd meets the winding course of Hart Cr. This prairie terrain is defined by its drainage network, particularly the prominent Thunder Butte Cr which meanders across the central portion of the sheet. The local geography is marked by distinctive landforms such as Tailor Butte and the adjacent Tailor Draw, reflecting the naming traditions of early ranching families in the region.

Transportation throughout this rural area is facilitated by a grid of named local routes, including Happy Hill Rd and Rolling Hills Rd, which provide access to the vast grazing lands surrounding the Cone Tree Cr watershed. The confluence of these waterways and the small settlement at Chance illustrate the classic pattern of isolated high-plains outposts established along permanent water sources and early livestock trails.
