2017 Map of Rabbit Butte

About this map

Rabbit Butte stands as the primary landmark in this section of Perkins County, rising above a landscape defined by the drainage of Rabbit Cr to the north and Antelope Cr to the south. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System dictate the sparse road network. Primary transit is limited to unpaved routes such as Bixby Rd and Ridgeview Rd, which connect remote holdings across the townships of T16N R12E and T15N R13E. The map detail highlights the relationship between the elevated butte and the intermittent watercourses that carve through the surrounding plains, offering a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure in this portion of the Great Plains.
