About this map

The Belle Fourche River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a complex network of tributaries and irrigation channels. This Butte County terrain is defined by its water management systems, including the Antelope Lateral, Sheffield Lateral, and Richards Lateral, which reflect the region's agricultural infrastructure. To the north, seasonal drainages like Willow Cr and Jug Cr cut through the sections, while the route of Old US Hwy 212 indicates earlier transportation corridors. The map details a grid of rural roads, such as Youngberg Rd and Knutson Rd, providing access to the open country north of the river. Other notable water features including Horse Cr and Dry Cr highlight the hydrologic character of this High Plains environment.
