About this map

Rattlesnake Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this prairie landscape of Slope County, North Dakota. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by the winding course of Cedar Creek and its various tributaries, including North Fork Cedar Creek, South Fork Cedar Creek, and North Cedar Creek. In the northwest, Sand Creek flows through the open terrain, while the straight line of County Hwy-4220 bisects the region from east to west. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely settled area characterized by ranching roads and a highly organized section line grid, reflecting the modern agricultural and livestock geography of the Northern Great Plains. The map provides a clear look at the intricate hydrography that sustains this semi-arid environment.
