2012 Map of Signal Butte

About this map

Signal Butte stands as the primary landmark in this rural stretch of South Dakota, where the drainage patterns of Deep Cr, Lilly Cr, and Flint Cr define the landscape. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a section of the northern plains characterized by large-scale topography and a sparse network of section-line roads. The prominent elevation of Fox Ridge stretches across the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a significant geographical divide. Local travel and land access are facilitated by a series of named thoroughfares such as Fox Ridge Rd, Lily Creek Rd, and Deep Creek Rd, which provide the essential framework for ranching and transport through this remote grassland environment.
