1983 Map of Grandmas Butte

About this map

Grandmas Butte dominates the northeastern corner of this Perkins County landscape, providing a primary landmark in a region defined by its complex drainage systems and open rangeland. The hydrology of the area is centered on Thunder Butte Creek and its tributary, the South Branch Thunder Butte Creek, which carve winding paths across the southern half of the quadrangle. Other smaller watercourses including Murphy Creek and Snake Creek further define the terrain. Evidence of community infrastructure is concentrated around the southern section near the Townhall, while the northern reaches are characterized by the elevations of the Rocky Hills and Wolf Hill. The map also documents numerous scattered wells across the townships of Vail Cash and Strool Scotch Cap, reflecting the essential water-security needs of the local agricultural economy.
