2017 Map of Signal Butte

About this map

Signal Butte rises above the high plains of the South Dakota rangeland, serving as a prominent landmark on the boundary between northern Meade and southern Perkins counties. This landscape is defined by the high elevations of Fox Ridge, which forms a drainage divide for several watercourses in the region. The map shows the winding paths of Deep Cr in the north and the headwaters of Lilly Cr and Flint Cr to the south. The sparse infrastructure reflects the area's grazing and ranching heritage, with travel largely restricted to rural corridors such as Deep Creek Rd and Co Hwy Mc-25. This 2017 survey details the section lines and township divisions that continue to govern land use in this open country.
