2012 Map of J K Butte

About this map

J K Butte rises over a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction in this corner of Harding County. The terrain is marked by a complex system of seasonal drainages, including Porcupine Draw, Johnson Draw, and Smith Draw, which feed into larger watercourses like Waterhole Cr and Plum Cr. These landforms provide a clear picture of the region's erosion patterns and natural livestock range. Human presence is centered on localized hubs such as Davis Ranch and Holcomb Ranch, while the Short Pines Gas Field indicates the industrial footprint of energy development in the early 21st century. To the southeast, the slopes of the West Short Pine Hills offer a contrast to the flatter northern sections, punctuated by landmarks like White Cap and the specialized Sky Ranch For Boys Airport.
