2021 Map of Sunrise Butte

About this map

Sunrise Butte rises as the dominant landmark of this Perkins County landscape, defining the topography between the drainages of Rabbit Cr and Indian Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse, ranching-oriented region of South Dakota where section lines and local connectors like Owen Lake Rd and Happy Hill Rd provide the primary infrastructure. The meandering course of Porcupine Cr cuts across the eastern reaches of the quadrangle, reflecting the drainage patterns common to the northern plains. Land use is organized around the Public Land Survey System, with Township 15 and 16 North and Ranges 14 and 15 East providing the structural framework for the rural properties and vast open country of the area.
