2012 Map of Fort George Butte SW

About this map

Stony Butte Cr and Nail Cr define the drainage patterns of this Lyman County landscape, which is largely characterized by open range and a sparse network of county infrastructure. The map reveals the layout of rural access roads including Co Hwy 25 and Co Rd 16, which cross the terrain to connect distant ranching or agricultural properties. This 2012 survey depicts the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century, showing how modern land management and boundary lines follow the natural watercourses like S Br Cedar Cr. The lack of dense settlement or named town centers emphasizes the vast, open nature of this portion of South Dakota, where topography and water sources govern the placement of local roads and remote outposts.
