2012 Map of Owl Butte

About this map

Owl Butte rises as the central landmark of this Butte County landscape, marking a prominent point in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous waterways that converge across the prairie, including Station Elm Cr and Mud Elm Cr, which feed into the primary course of Elm Cr. Further north, S Sulphur Cr and S Double R Cr carve through the northern reach, while Butte Cr and Eightmile Cr define the southern drainage patterns. This 2012 survey illustrates the path of U.S. Route 212, which serves as the primary corridor through this high plains environment. The map provides a detailed view of the natural topography and the essential transportation links that connect this part of South Dakota.
