2017 Map of Crow Butte

About this map

Crow Butte and Little Crow Butte dominate the southern portion of this landscape within the Nebraska National Forest. The map documents a rugged section of Dawes County where the terrain rises sharply from the White River valley in the north toward the high bluffs and timbered draws of the forest. The Crow Butte Cem, located near Crow Butte Rd, offers a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing families from this corner of the state. Water management is central to the land use here, evidenced by several upland impoundments including Souther Reservoir, Alcorn Reservoir, and Squaw Cr Reservoir. A network of rural routes such as Sawlog Rd and W Ash Creek Rd weave through the draws, following the natural drainage of W Ash Cr and English Cr.
