2021 Map of Rabbit Butte

About this map

Rabbit Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Perkins County, rising above a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of Rabbit Cr and Antelope Cr. The terrain reflects a sprawling ranching and agricultural character, organized by the Public Land Survey System across townships T16N R12E and T16N R13E. Connectivity in this sparsely populated area is maintained through a network of section-line roads and named routes including Bixby Rd and Ridgeview Rd. The orientation of these paths, such as Usta Rd and Drew Rd, reveals how the modern rural infrastructure navigates the breaks and coulees typical of the western South Dakota plains. This map captures the intersection of high prairie topography with the persistent grid of local travel, centered around the distinctive form of the butte itself.
