2017 Map of South Butte

About this map

The high plains of Campbell County are dominated by a series of prominent rises including South Mid Butte Pumpkin Buttes, South Butte, and Indian Butte. This 2017 survey details the headwaters of the Belle Fourche River, which begins its course across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals an intricate network of ephemeral drainages with evocative names such as All Night Cr and its tributary, S All Night Cr, alongside Dry Willow Cr and Fourmile Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the Four Mile Cem serves as a significant landmark in the northern reaches, positioned near Van Buggenum Rd. The landscape is largely defined by open rangeland and the topographical isolation of features like Little Black Butte, connected by rural routes like Christenson Rd and Todo Rd.
