2012 Map of Stony Butte

About this map

Stony Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this Jones County landscape, overlooking a network of seasonal watercourses that define the local geography. The area's drainage pattern is dominated by Stony Butte Cr, which winds across the central and southern portions of the territory, while Cedar Cr and S Br Cedar Cr mark the northern reaches. Summit Reservoir serves as a critical water management feature in an area otherwise characterized by these intermittent prairie streams, including E Br War Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse human footprint in this part of South Dakota, where the primary infrastructure consists of solitary routes like Co RD 27 cutting through the open terrain. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between these essential water sources and the land's natural contours during the early 21st century.
