2015 Map of Signal Butte

About this map

Signal Butte stands as a prominent elevation point along the border of Meade and Perkins counties, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and remote ranch roads. This South Dakota terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Deep Cr, Lilly Cr, and Flint Cr, which carve through the high plains. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the sprawling Fox Ridge, a significant geographical feature that influences the local topography. Human presence is marked by a network of rural routes such as Cottonwood Rd and Deep Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The map illustrates the transition from the Perkins County line into the rugged elevations of Meade County, reflecting the sparse, wide-open character of the region's agricultural and pastoral landscape.
