1983 Map of Coal Springs SE

About this map

Thunder Butte rises as the primary landmark in this rural expanse of Perkins County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways. In the early 1980s, the area remained largely undeveloped, with cattle grazing and land management occurring within the townships of Foster and Englewood. The drainage patterns are clearly mapped, showing how Thunder Butte Creek and Surveyor Creek carve through the prairie terrain. Human activity is sparse but visible through a lone Gravel Pit and the established boundaries of township lines. Small tributaries like Section Draw, Cow Creek, and Spring Creek highlight the natural hydrology of this high plains region, providing a detailed look at the land before modern agricultural shifts or infrastructure expansion altered these drainages.
