About this map

Chimney Butte stands as a primary landmark in this section of Perkins County, overlooking a landscape defined by intermittent watercourses and high plains drainage. The terrain is carved by the meandering path of Rabbit Cr, which is joined by local tributaries including Bog Cr and Peggy Cr. These waterways form the backbone of the local topography, alongside the distinct depression of Mallory Draw.

Section lines and rural infrastructure maintain a strictly grid-like pattern across the townships, with Prairie City Rd serving as a central north-south corridor. The map captures the open character of this part of South Dakota, where the land use is primarily agricultural or grazing, evidenced by the sparse development and the emphasis on natural drainage features and public land survey divisions.
