2021 Map of Slim Butte SW

About this map

Slim Butte dominates this high plains landscape within Oglala Lakota County, a region defined by dramatic elevation changes and seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is marked by intricate contouring that illustrates the plateau's erosional edges, where numerous intermittent watercourses like Slim Butte Cr and Alkali Cr originate. This map reveals a section of the South Dakota backcountry primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the township boundaries of T36N and T35N. The network of local roads and unimproved trails suggests a landscape of ranching or protected lands, where natural landmarks like Allen Cr serve as the primary navigational anchors in an otherwise open and sparsely populated territory.
