2021 Map of Hump Butte

About this map

Hump Butte stands as the primary landmark of this prairie landscape straddling the boundary between North Dakota and South Dakota. The topography is defined by the drainages of Plum Cr, Hump Cr, and Timber Cr, which carve a network of coulees across the undulating plains. The map illustrates a strictly rural environment governed by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the prominent township and range lines like t129n r86w and t23n r22e. The transportation network is limited to a grid of section-line roads, including 52nd Ave and Lake Township Rd, reflecting the sparse settlement pattern and agricultural focus of the northern Great Plains in the early twenty-first century.
