1965 Map of Two Top Butte East

About this map

Two Top Peak and the prominent landform of Two Top Butte dominate this section of the South Dakota landscape, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns in the northern plains. This mid-1960s survey focuses on the intricate networks of Horse Creek and Willow Creek, which carve through the terrain as they flow generally eastward. The map is notable for its inclusion of fine red dashed lines that indicate visible fence and field lines from 1963 aerial photography, a detail of significant value for property history and land-use studies. These markings, alongside the sparse development of township lines like T. 12 N. and T. 11 N., illustrate a rural landscape defined primarily by ranching and natural topography rather than dense settlement.
