2012 Map of Mud Creek

About this map

Mud Butte sits in the southeast corner of this Meade County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the winding course of the S Fork Moreau River. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the western South Dakota plains, dominated by an intricate network of drainage systems. The namesake Mud Cr flows centrally through the area, joined by numerous seasonal tributaries including Camp Cr, Trail Cr, and Hay Cr. Transportation in this region relies on a few primary corridors like Zeona Rd and Co Hwy Mc-23, which connect the small community of Mud Butte to the surrounding rangeland. The map provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how local section lines and natural watercourses dictate the layout of this remote high-plains environment.
