2017 Map of Skull Butte

About this map

Skull Butte rises as the central topographic landmark in this section of Corson County, a terrain defined by the complex drainage systems of Dirt Lodge Cr and Cedar Boy Cr. The landscape is etched with the branching coulees and draws typical of the Rock Creek District, where intermittent watercourses have carved deep into the high plains. The area is organized by a sparse network of section-line roads, including 107th St and 109th St, which reflect the large-scale ranching and land divisions of the Great Plains. Morristown Rd serves as a primary north-south conduit through this sparsely populated territory. The Public Land Survey System grid, marked by townships such as t22n r20e, underscores the late-period mapping of this rural South Dakota environment where land use remains closely tied to the natural contour of the drainage basins.
