2017 Map of Hump Butte

About this map

Hump Butte stands as the central landmark of this prairie landscape, situated near the transition from North Dakota to South Dakota. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Plum Cr and Timber Cr, which carve through the high ground along the Sioux Co and Corson Co line. This 2017 survey reflects a contemporary ranching and agricultural region where section-line roads like 49th street and Lake Township Rd provide the primary infrastructure through the township grids. To the southwest, Mallard Lake and the meandering path of Hump Cr mark the lower elevations of the quadrangle. The map is a precise record of the modern rural environment, illustrating how geographic boundaries and water sources continue to shape the distribution of remote prairie access and land use.
