2012 Map of Skull Butte

About this map

Skull Butte rises as the primary landmark in this section of Corson County, overlooking a landscape defined by its drainage networks and section-line roads. The drainage of Dirt Lodge Cr meanders across the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, while Cedar Boy Cr flows through the central and southern reaches. The 2012 road network follows a strict grid typical of the Great Plains, with routes such as 106th St and 220th Ave providing access to this open terrain. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made infrastructure in the Rock Creek District, revealing how local travel remains tethered to the section lines established over a century ago.
