2021 Map of Two Top Butte East

About this map

Two Top Peak and its sister formation, Two Top Butte, dominate the northwestern portion of this Butte County landscape, providing prominent navigational landmarks in the high plains of western South Dakota. This 2021 topographic record reveals a largely undeveloped expanse defined by the intricate drainage systems of Horse Cr and Willow Cr. The terrain is marked by a vast network of ephemeral watercourses and draws that flow toward Dry Cr in the southeast, illustrating the complex natural hydrology of the region. Highway 85 bisects the area, serving as the primary corridor through this ranching country. The map provides clear evidence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t12n r4e and t11n r5e dividing the territory into a precise grid of sections used for land management and genealogy research.
