2021 Map of Skull Butte

About this map

Skull Butte rises as a prominent landmark in the southern reaches of this South Dakota landscape, defining the terrain between the drainages of Cedar Boy Cr and Dirt Lodge Cr. The region is structured by a rectilinear grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Morristown Rd and 220th Ave, which facilitate movement through the open range of Corson County. This 2021 digital study reflects the enduring agricultural and ranching layout of the Great Plains, where the drainage patterns of Dirt Lodge Cr dictate the subtle contours of the land. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of modern infrastructure and natural watercourses, tracing how local thoroughfares like Co Rd - 111th St navigate the breaks and coulees characteristic of this part of the state.
