2021 Map of Twin Butte

About this map

Grand River National Grassland segments dominate this portion of the northern plains, reflecting a landscape defined by federal conservation and rangeland management. The terrain is marked by the eponymous Twin Butte, a distinctive high point that serves as a landmark for the surrounding drainage basins. A network of seasonal waterways, including Third Cr, Black Horse Butte Cr, and Twin Butte Cr, carves through the undulating topography of Corson County. The road system is sparse, primarily composed of secondary routes like Twin Butte Rd and 126th St, which provide access to these remote reaches of the Dakotas. The map illustrates a late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century ranching environment where the interplay between public grasslands and private holdings is traced through clear section lines and township boundaries.
