2011 Map of Stony Butte

About this map

Stony Butte and Pearl Butte rise from the prairie landscape of Hettinger County, marking a terrain defined by intermittent drainage and rural arterial routes. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a network of local roads such as Michael's Rd and Bomber Club Rd that connect the high points of the plains. Waterways including Thirtymile Creek and Spring Creek wind through the region, following the natural contours of the land between the major buttes. The inclusion of the Enchanted Hwy reflects a unique cultural landscape, as this north-south route is known for its large-scale folk art sculptures that dot the prairie, though the map focuses on the physical topography and road infrastructure of this agricultural area.
