1998 Map of Twin Butte

About this map

The Standing Rock Indian Reservation and Grand River National Grassland meet along a distinct boundary line in this northern South Dakota landscape. Settled life in the late 20th century is defined by isolated family operations such as the G Miller Ranch, B Rieger Ranch, and Shambo Ranch. The Grand River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Horse Butte Creek and Twin Butte Creek. A lone Cem and the Black Horse Arena serve as important local markers for genealogical and community history. The land is largely open, with a small Landing Strip providing essential aerial access to this expansive prairie region. Notable topographical prominence is found at Twin Butte, standing as a landmark over the surrounding river valley and ranch lands.
