About this map

Haystack Butte and Castle Rock Butte dominate this landscape in northwestern South Dakota, serving as prominent landmarks above a network of seasonal drainages. The topography is defined by the S Fork Moreau River in the north and various creeks, including Bull Cr, Battle Cr, and Hay Cr, which carve through the high plains. This map illustrates a rural environment where modern infrastructure intersects with the natural terrain.

Transport through this part of Butte County relies on historically significant routes such as Old State Hwy 79 and Burke Rd. The presence of Civil Defense Tower Rd near the southern edge of the survey suggests the region's strategic importance during the mid-20th century. For those interested in the public land survey system, the map clearly delineates township boundaries including t13n r5e and t12n r6e.
