2015 Map of Two Buttes

About this map

Two Buttes and Johnny Butte rise above the high plains of Perkins County in this mid-2010s survey, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and grazing lands. The hydrology is dominated by the winding course of Rabbit Cr, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Antelope Cr, Pickles Cr, and the divided branches of N Reinoehl Cr and S Reinoehl Cr. The area is largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, with isolated landmarks like Flat Top Butte and Twin Buttes serving as essential reference points for local ranchers and land managers. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of section-line roads and trails, such as Chance Rd, Ada Rd, and Usta Rd, which navigate the draws and rises of the northern South Dakota prairie.
