2021 Map of Sulphur Butte

About this map

Sulphur Butte rises as the primary landmark in this section of Butte County, where the plains are defined by an intricate network of drainage channels. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including Sulphur Cr, Hans Cr, and Lonetree Cr, which drain the open range toward the east. This 2021 survey reveals a remote landscape primarily organized by section lines and a few established ranch roads like Erk Rd and Goerringer Rd. The presence of features such as N Double R Cr and S Double R Cr underscores the importance of seasonal water management in this western South Dakota environment. This map is a clean record of modern land divisions and topographical relief in a sparsely populated but geographically distinct part of the state.
