2015 Map of Sulphur Butte

About this map

Sulphur Butte stands as the primary landmark in this expanse of Butte County, where the high plains are defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainage. The landscape is carved by numerous waterways including Sulphur Cr, Hans Cr, and Frog Cr, which dictate the topography of this cattle-ranching region. Human imprint on the land is represented by a sparse grid of section lines and gravel paths, notably Erk Rd and Twilight Rd, which navigate the rises and coulees between the townships of T12N and T11N. This 2015 survey reflects the enduring character of the western South Dakota rangeland, where water sources like Lonetree Cr and S Double R Cr remain the most significant features for local navigation and land use.
