About this map

Deers Ears Butte and Snake Butte command the horizon in this high-plains landscape of Butte County. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral waterways, including Lonetree Creek and the various branches of Double R Cr. These drainages carve through a sparsely settled ranching environment where section lines and section corners dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Old Twilight Rd and Johnson Rd. Landmarks such as Lookout Butte and Wheelbarrow Butte provide essential orientation points across the undulating grasslands. The map's layout, organized by townships t12n r7e and t11n r8e, illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern geography of the western Dakotas, marking out a landscape where water and elevation remain the primary drivers of human activity and road placement.
