Thunder Butte
Thunder Butte (Lakota: ''Wakíŋyaŋ Pahá'') is a prominent butte landmark located in the northwest corner of Ziebach County, South Dakota, in the United States.〔Rand McNally Atlas, 2006〕 Thunder Butte is a landform that can be seen for many miles in every direction, and serves now (as it has in the past) as an important orientation point for area residents, or a navigational aide for travelers crossing the surrounding plains. The prominent butte gives its name to a small community at its base, and to a small creek that runs into the Moreau River
==Geography ==
Thunder Butte was formed by differential erosion. Its summit is 2,733 feet (833.02 meters) above sea level,〔(Thunder Butte Summit, South Dakota Mountain Peak Information )〕 and rises some three to five hundred feet above the surrounding grasslands. Thunder Butte is the highest point in Ziebach County. Thunder Butte lies on the drainage divide between the Grand River, to the north, and the Moreau River to the south; both rivers drain eastward to the Missouri.
The butte is located about 75 miles west of the Missouri River, and about 105 miles northeast of the Black Hills, (both distances as the crow flies). The geographical coordinates of Thunder Butte (Wakinyan Paha) are Latitude N 45.319978 (49 19 12 N) and Longitude W -101.880704 (-101 52 51 W). The butte lies in the Southeast quarter of Section 26 of Township 16 North, Range 18 East.〔See the 15 minute (1:62,500 scale) Glad Valley geologic map, which can be viewed and downloaded from the SD Geological Surveys website.
