2012 Map of Rabbit Butte

About this map

Rabbit Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Perkins County, overlooking a vast ranching landscape defined by the winding paths of Antelope Cr and Rabbit Cr. The 2012 survey illustrates the grid of rural roads that serve the area, including Bixby Rd and Ridgeview Rd, which connect the isolated homesteads and grazing lands typical of South Dakota's northwestern plains. The map's topographic detail reveals a network of ephemeral streams and stock ponds fed by these larger creeks, highlighting the critical importance of water management in this high-plains environment. Local thoroughfares like Usta Rd and Drew Rd provide a clear view of the transportation network supporting the region's agricultural economy at the start of the twenty-first century.
