About this map

Three Buttes dominates the southern landscape of this Valley County quadrangle, where the drainages of the Missouri River basin shape the high plains. The terrain is defined by a network of intermittent waterways and technical water management features like Structure Number 143 Reservoir. To the north, the winding Badger Hole Coulee cuts through the elevations, while the confluence of Oswego Creek and East Fork Oswego Creek provides a natural corridor through the central sections.

A sparse road network, including Frazer-Richland Rd and Oswego Creek Rd, anchors the rural geography, connecting the high ridges and deep coulees. The landscape is marked by the clear delineations of the Public Land Survey System, specifically Township 28 North and Ranges 44 and 45 East. This 2024 survey documents a resilient, unpopulated landscape where hydrology and relief dictate the placement of local infrastructure like Flynn Creek.
