Signal Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska, where the high plains meet the intricate breaks of the Wildcat Hills. This landscape is defined by the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure necessary for agriculture in the region, centered on the winding path of the Fort Laramie Canal. A network of specialized waterways, including Butcher Drain, McCreary Drain, and the Kiowa Diversion Lateral Number 1, supports the fields surrounding the small settlement of Stegall. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises into the hills, cut by numerous named drainages such as Bobcat Canyon and Andys Canyon. The local road system, including Kiowa Church Rd and Roubadeau Pass Rd, provides a trace of the rural community's layout and its connection to the surrounding ranching and farming operations during the early 21st century.
