1983 Map of Cow Butte SW

About this map

Mud Butte and the surrounding high plains of South Dakota are captured here during a period of late-twentieth-century rural persistence. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Horse Creek and Fivemile Creek, which carve through the terrain along the county line shared by Harding Co and Perkins Co. This map provides significant value for genealogists tracing family ties to the remote schoolhouses that served this ranching country, specifically the Ellingson Sch in the north and Swanson Sch to the south.
