2012 Map of Spoon Butte

About this map

Spoon Butte rises as a prominent landmark in the high plains along the Wyoming and Nebraska border, defining the topography of this sparsely settled corner of Sioux County. This modern 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape dominated by the winding course of Sheep Cr, which meanders through the central and western portions of the quadrangle. The map reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where transportation is anchored by arterial routes like Henry Rd and Co Rd 47. These roads trace the section lines and drainage patterns of a landscape dedicated to large-scale ranching and grazing, where water sources like Sheep Cr remain the most critical features of the terrain.
