2017 Map of Owl Butte NE

About this map

Sulphur Cr winds across the southern reaches of this Butte County landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns of the high plains in the late 2010s. This specific region of South Dakota is defined by its vast sections of the Public Land Survey System, including portions of t12n r8e and t12n r9e, where cattle ranching and rural land use dictate the sparse network of gravel and dirt tracks. Local travel is facilitated by long-established routes such as Twilight Rd and its predecessor, Old Twilight Rd, which track alongside northern watercourses like Trail Cr. The presence of labels like Mud Butte Rd and Gruwell Rd offers researchers a look at the modern rural infrastructure, while the smaller Doody Cr provides further detail of the local topography.
