1998 Map of Cow Butte SE
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
Grand River National Grassland dominates the eastern half of this Perkins County landscape, representing a significant portion of the region's managed prairie. The map details a rural livestock and farming economy at the end of the 20th century, characterized by widely spaced homesteads such as the K Kuang Ranch and G Shiller Ranch. The settlement of Ellingson and surrounding areas are anchored by small community nodes including the Duck Creek Ch and its neighboring Duck Creek Sch. These landmarks, along with the Zion Cem and Bethany Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogists tracing family footprints in this corner of South Dakota. The drainage patterns of Horse Creek and Duck Creek define the topography, illustrating the essential relationship between water sources and ranching life in the Great Plains.
