2021 Map of Two Top Butte West

About this map

Two Top Butte rises above the open range of northwestern South Dakota, serving as a prominent landmark in this corner of Butte County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, most notably Horse Cr and the winding Hildebrand Cr, which navigate the undulating high plains topography. This 2021 survey reveals a remote ranching landscape where development is limited to isolated roads like Kinghorn Rd, which cuts diagonally across the township boundaries. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System structure, showing the intersection of t12n r3e, t12n r4e, t11n r3e, and t11n r4e. This layout reflects the enduring grid of the American West, where topographical features like the butte dictate the movement of water and the placement of rural corridors.
