2017 Map of Flat Top Butte

About this map

Custer National Forest anchors the southwestern corner of this quadrangle, where the distinct landforms of the Slim Buttes and Finger Butte rise above the surrounding plains. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems including Rabbit Cr and Dog Cr, which dictate the local topography and the placement of rural corridors like Sorum Rd. The eponymous Flat Top Butte serves as a central landmark in this part of Harding County, providing a clear view of the transition from open range to more complex geological features. Near the southern boundary, Coal Gulch suggests the geological character of the region, while labels such as Point Comfort indicate localized water features or historical landmarks used by early ranchers and land managers navigating the high plains.
