1983 Map of Rabbit Butte

About this map

Rabbit Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of Perkins County, rising above a landscape defined by the winding paths of Rabbit Creek and Antelope Creek. The 1980s terrain shows a scattered, rural settlement pattern across the townships of Duell, Hall, Highland, and Brushy. Central to the community life of this prairie region is St James Ch, located near the intersection of local section lines. This document, based on 1978 aerial photography, provides a clear view of the sparse road network and the natural watercourses that dictated the placement of homesteads and community structures. The inclusion of Bixby Road offers a specific geographic anchor for those researching family land or the early twentieth-century transport routes in northern South Dakota.
