2024 Map of Flat Top Butte

About this map

Flat Top Butte rises as a central landmark in this drainage-rich portion of Prairie County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal coulees and creeks. The hydrology of the region is traced through names like Newman Hollow Creek in the north and the winding course of Dunwoodie Creek to the south. Transport across this western rangeland is facilitated by a few primary routes, notably Ash Creek Rd and Flat Top Rd, which intersect near the butte. The surveying of this territory, organized under the Public Land Survey System, shows the grid of Township and Range lines including t11n r52e and t10n r52e. This modern record illustrates a sparse but functional infrastructure of ranch roads and named watercourses such as Conns Coulee and Tenmile Creek, preserving the specific nomenclature used by local landowners and ranchers in the twenty-first century.
