About this map

Bear Butte dominates this prairie landscape in Meade County, serving as a prominent landmark north of the Black Hills. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Bear Butte Cr and Spring Cr, which cut through the high plains. This 2017 survey captures the intersection of traditional ranching geography with modern aviation, notably at the Sturgis Municipal Airport located along Alkali Rd.

A network of section-line roads such as 135th Ave and 202nd St reveals the organized land survey system typical of the Western frontier. The map details the transition from the rugged slopes of the butte to the lower basins formed by Alkali Cr, providing a precise record of water access and rural infrastructure, including Co Hwy Mc-10 and Titan Rd, as they serve the remote holdings in townships t6n r6e and t6n r7e.
