2012 Map of McKenzie Butte

About this map

South Cave Hills and a series of prominent buttes dominate this landscape in Harding County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, including Thumb Butte, Penttila Butte, and McKenzie Butte, alongside the named drainage systems of Boxelder Cr and Sheep Cr. The area maintains a low-density ranching character, centered around the M Butler Ranch and W O Johnson Ranch. A specialized water infrastructure is evident through the many named springs and gulches, such as John Brown Spring Number One and Casper Gulch. The presence of features like Holdup Canyon and Van Offern Butte reflects a landscape where naming conventions are tied closely to family heritage and local topography.
