2015 Map of Volunteer

About this map

Volunteer serves as a central anchor in this Western South Dakota landscape, positioned where the Belle Fourche River snakes through the high plains. The map details a complex drainage network that defines the local geography, including the winding paths of Ninemile Cr, Dry Cr, and Dry Fourmile Cr. These waterways create a distinct relief against the township and range grid, illustrating how the natural topography has influenced rural land division between Butte and Meade counties. A sparse but essential road network, featuring Wetz Rd and 4 Mile Rd, connects the isolated homesteads and ranch lands that characterize this region. Near the southern boundary, the arrival of Bear Butte Cr adds another significant hydrological feature to this prairie environment, reflecting the quiet, agricultural character of the area in the early 21st century.
