2011 Map of Hump Butte

About this map

Hump Butte stands as the primary landmark in this rural landscape at the border of North Dakota and South Dakota. In the early 21st century, the terrain is defined by a sparse network of section roads like 104th St and 234 Ave, which trace the grid of the Porcupine District. The drainage pattern is shaped by Timber Creek and Plum Creek, with numerous small impoundments reflecting local land management. These include family-named features such as the George Genoff Dam and James Seiler Dam, which create small reservoirs like Mallard Lake. The map illustrates a strictly agricultural and ranching environment where water conservation is critical to the local economy and land use, evidenced by the prevalence of named dams and the seasonal Hump Creek.
