2021 Map of Table Top Butte

About this map

Table Top Butte rises above the drainage of Sulphur Cr, anchoring a landscape defined by the stark topography of the western Dakotas. This 2021 survey documents the intersection of Butte and Meade counties, where the high plains are carved by seasonal waterways like S Sulphur Cr and Soft Water Cr. The map captures a transition in local transportation, showing the route of Old Us Hwy 212 alongside modern additions such as Co Hwy 28 S. Landform landmarks like Saddle Butte and Rattlesnake Butte provide essential orientation in this sparsely populated region, while rural access is maintained through routes with evocative local names such as Gumbo Ln and Longhorn Pl. The distribution of these features reflects the enduring grazing and ranching character of the land straddling the Butte-Meade county line.
