2010 Map of White Owl Butte

About this map

White Owl Butte and the surrounding volcanic terrain of Madison County define this landscape at the start of the 2010s. The geography is marked by several distinctive rises, including Bitters Butte and Canyon Creek Butte, which overlook a network of rural roads such as Johns Cutoff Rd and Hog Back Rd. The drainage patterns are a primary feature of the area, with the meandering Moody Creek carving through the terrain at the Elbow of Moody Creek and the nearby Dry Canyon. Agriculture and water management are evident in the northern reaches, where the Canyon Creek Canal cuts across the grid-patterned fields. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of the region, tracing long-established routes like Long Hollow Rd as they navigate the natural depressions and ridges of the high plains.
