2017 Map of Tomato Can Buttes

About this map

Tomato Can Buttes anchor the southwestern corner of this Butte County landscape, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. The S Fork Moreau River meanders through the central terrain, fed by numerous draws and creeks that define the local topography. The map reveals a land structured by long-established rural routes and ranching access, including Old Twilight Rd and Cow Camp Ln. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, connecting disparate points across the township lines of T13N and T12N. Water remains the primary architect of the landscape here, with named features like Gladson Draw, Horse Cr, and Trail Cr illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of this part of South Dakota.
