1982 Map of Bull Creek 2 NE

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, presiding over a landscape defined by deeply incised drainage systems. The survey detail illustrates the complex hydrology of Ziebach County, centered on the winding course of Rattlesnake Creek as it moves through the prairie. To the southwest, the appearance of Red Coal Creek suggests the underlying geology that historically supported localized fuel needs in this part of South Dakota. The topography is further marked by the distinctive Squaw Teat Butte and its namesake Squaw Teat Creek in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Produced from 1970s aerial photography, this provisional document records the remote ranching terrain and section lines prior to more modern developments, preserving the original place names and landform designations used by the Department of the Interior during the early 1980s.
