2021 Map of Tepee Buttes

About this map

Tepee Buttes and the surrounding high plains define this landscape along the border of the Dakotas. The map illustrates a remote ranching and grazing region where water sources like Tepee Springs and drainage systems including Alkali Creek and Crooked Cr dictated the early organization of the land. In the north, the waters of the Bowman-Haley Reservoir and Bowman-Haley Lake dominate the terrain, reflecting the engineering and water management vital to this arid environment. The transition from North Dakota to South Dakota is marked by Stateline Rd, which cuts across a complex series of buttes and draws, including Corey Butte. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse rural infrastructure, showing how Lanesboro Rd and Rock Rd navigate the undulating elevations and river valleys like the N Fork Grand River.
