About this map

Englishman Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this western South Dakota landscape, which straddles the boundary between Butte and Meade counties. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its complex drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Eightmile Cr and Fourmile Cr carve across the plains toward the Belle Fourche River at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map details a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural environment, with transportation limited to long thoroughfares such as 146th Ave and Juniper Pl. The layout of the Public Land Survey System is clearly visible, showing the divisions of Township 6, 7, and 8 North across Ranges 8 and 9 East. For researchers, the map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the area, including Dry Fourmile Cr and W Elm Cr, illustrating how the land is managed and divided in this corner of the state.
