About this map

Mud Butte serves as the primary landmark in this corner of western South Dakota, situated near the intersection of Zeona Rd and Old 212. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of the South Fork Moreau River, which winds across the northern half of the quadrangle. This drainage is fed by numerous tributaries including Hay Cr, Trail Cr, and Mud Cr, creating a complex system of draws and breaks characteristic of the region.

The map reveals a remote pastoral territory where county lines meet, marking the borders of Butte, Perkins, and Meade counties. Transport is limited to a few established routes such as S Moreau Ln, reflecting the sparse settlement patterns of this high plains environment. For those tracing the geography of the Moreau River basin, this survey provides a clear view of the watercourses and land divisions that shape the local ranching landscape.
