2017 Map of Eagle Mans Butte

About this map

Eagle Mans Butte stands as a prominent landmark on the high plains where the border between Bennett Co and Todd Co divides the landscape. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined by an intricate network of drainages, including Black Pipe Cr, Black Elk Cr, and Eagle Chief Cr, which carve through the open country. The distribution of remote burial sites like Saint Stephen Cem in the north and Epiphany Cem in the south provides important coordinates for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this part of South Dakota. The presence of Black Crow Spring and names like Red Leaf Cr reflect the area's cultural heritage and reliance on seasonal water sources. Local transit is marked by established routes such as Whipple Rd and He Dog Rd, which navigate the elevation changes around the butte.
