2012 Map of Deers Ears Butte South

About this map

Deers Ears Butte and Snake Butte rise above a landscape defined by an extensive network of prairie drainages in this 2012 survey. The area is marked by the winding paths of Sulphur Cr and its tributaries, including Johns Cr and Lonetree Cr. This portion of Butte County preserves a traditional rangeland character, where the sparse road network consists primarily of localized routes such as Old Twilight Rd and New Twilight Rd. The naming of prominent landmarks like Lookout Butte and Wheelbarrow Butte reflects the early navigational needs of settlers and ranchers in this open terrain. For those studying the hydrography of the region, the map provides detailed placement of the Double R Cr and S Double R Cr systems, illustrating the complex watershed that feeds the larger plains environment.
