2015 Map of Lahti Butte

About this map

Lahti Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Harding County, anchoring a landscape defined by its high plains topography and intermittent drainage systems. The survey reveals a sparse network of watercourses, including Cottonwood Creek in the north and the meandering Rush Creek to the south. Human activity is centered around the lone arterial corridor of Clanton Rd, which cuts diagonally across the Public Land Survey System grid. This map documents the persistent township and range divisions of Northwest South Dakota, showing the relationship between natural features like Mud Butte and the geometric boundaries of t20n r4e and t19n r3e. The terrain represents the characteristic open grazing lands of the region, where named landmarks and creek beds serve as the primary navigational markers for local ranchers and land managers.
