2017 Map of Two Top Butte East

About this map

Two Top Butte dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape in Butte County, providing a significant vertical landmark above the surrounding drainage basins. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of several waterways, including Willow Cr and Horse Cr, which wind through the township boundaries of T12N R4E and T11N R5E. The drainage network is further mapped into the southeast through Dry Cr. This area of the South Dakota plains maintains a sparse, open character with limited development, focusing on the natural topography and the legal subdivisions of the Public Land Survey System. The map illustrates how these small creeks dictate the local relief, creating a series of draws and ridges that characterize this portion of the northern Great Plains.
