1965 Map of Two Top Butte SE
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Lonetree Creek and Horse Creek dominate this South Dakota landscape, illustrating a complex water management system designed for high-plains agriculture in the mid-1960s. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation channels, including the North Canal and several distribution branches like the Young Lateral, Indian Creek Lateral, and Gregory Lateral. This infrastructure supported remote homesteads and operations such as Winkler Ranch and Persche Ranch. Education in this rural expanse was decentralized, evidenced by the presence of three distinct schoolhouses: Kennedy Sch, Winkler Sch, and Stoughton Sch. The reliance on these local landmarks and the specific positioning of the Gaging Station Flume on Horse Creek highlights the vital importance of water rights and monitoring in Butte County during this era.
