2017 Map of Fort George Butte SE

About this map

Dipping Tank Cr and Grouse Cr carve through the open landscapes of Lyman County, defining a topography dominated by prairie drainages and ranching corridors. This modern record of the Fort George Butte SE quadrangle shows the established network of section-line roads and regional routes, such as Co Hwy 22 and Co Rd 16, which provide the primary access to this sparsely populated territory. The drainage patterns of S Fork Cedar Cr and Nail Cr illustrate the subtle but essential water resources that have historically dictated land use and property boundaries in this part of South Dakota. The map captures the continued reliance on a grid of rural infrastructure, including 232nd St, to navigate the vast distances between local landmarks and larger regional centers.
