1973 Map of Owl Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Owl Butte rises as the primary landmark in this expanse of Butte County, South Dakota. This 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses. The territory is carved by numerous named streams including South Double Creek in the north and South Sulphur Creek to the east. Farther south, the terrain descends toward the confluence of Elm Creek, Station Elm Creek, and Mud Creek. The distribution of Drill Hole markers across the quadrangle suggests localized geological exploration or ranching infrastructure during this era. Most of the land is characterized by these meandering creek beds, such as Butte Creek, which trace the natural topography of the High Plains before the further modernization of the local ranching landscape.
