2015 Map of Two Top Butte West

About this map

Two Top Butte dominates the northern elevation of this landscape, serving as a prominent landmark in the high plains of South Dakota. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Horse Cr in the northeast and Hilderbrand Cr, which meanders through the central and southern sections of the quadrangle. This 2015 data reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where the Public Land Survey System grid remains the primary organizing force for land use. Human activity is largely traced along King Horn Rd, representing the sparse but essential transportation network connecting these isolated stretches of Butte County. The topographical contours reveal the gradual transitions between upland buttes and the creek beds that have shaped the territory's ranching and agricultural history.
