2021 Map of Missouri Buttes

About this map

Missouri Buttes dominate the skyline in this portion of Crook County, standing as a prominent landmark near Butte Divide in the north. The landscape is a complex network of drainage systems and high ridges, where features like Hell Hole and The Basin suggest the varied and difficult terrain found throughout the quadrangle. Water resources are central to the geography here, with Basin Reservoir Number One and Basin Reservoir Number Two providing critical catchment in an otherwise arid landscape. In the southeast, the Belle Fourche River cuts through the territory, while livestock and ranching infrastructure is hinted at by the numerous named draws and canyons, such as Sawmill Canyon and Brosa Draw. The presence of Missouri Buttes Lake and various creeks like Lake Cr further define the local hydrology of this high-plains environment.
