2021 Map of Kline Buttes

About this map

Kline Buttes and Lonesome Butte rise as prominent landmarks above the drainage basin of Hunkpapa Cr in this rural section of Corson County. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with the intersections of t22n r28e, t22n r29e, t21n r28e, and t21n r29e forming the structural grid of the territory. This area reflects a highly dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the Great Plains, where connectivity is maintained by a sparse network of local roads such as Co Rd 3110. The map captures the subtle topography of the prairie, showing the drainages that feed into the Hunkpapa creek system amidst the wide-open ranching or farming tracts of northern South Dakota.
