About this map

Indian Butte and the surrounding high plains of Butte County and Harding Co are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and prominent landforms. The S Fork Moreau River cuts through the northern landscape, joined by its tributaries including Fourmile Cr and Crooked Cr. The small settlement of Gustave sits near the base of Gustave Butte in the northeast, serving as a rare point of habitation in this expansive ranching country.

Transportation through the area relies on established routes such as Camp Crook Rd and Co Hwy 752, which traverse the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. To the south, the terrain rises toward Flat Top and the headwaters of N Indian Cr, illustrating the watershed divides that separate the Moreau River system from the drainages to the south. The map provides a precise look at the land ownership boundaries across multiple townships, including t14n r1e and t15n r2e.
