Butte County is the most northern of the counties comprising the Black Hills group. It has an area of about 1,300 square miles, and a population of perhaps 2,000. The principal industries are farming and stock-raising, for which the country is well adapted. The general character of the surface, outside the Black Hills is rolling prairie, with valleys along the streams.
