1978 Map of Chimney Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lola Butte and Chimney Butte rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and early prairie infrastructure in northwestern South Dakota. The survey shows the winding course of the Little Missouri River as it cuts through the southwestern corner, joined by tributaries such as Kimble Creek and Middle Creek. This area of Harding County reveals the spatial distribution of early ranching and community life through features like Ladner Cem and Hoiland Cem, alongside remote Landing Strips and local resource extraction at the Scoria Pit and various sandpits. The presence of numerous wells and springs underscores the importance of water management in this arid cattle country, while the topographical detail highlights unique geological formations like Devils Half Acre near the eastern boundary.
