1973 Map of East Rainy Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

East Rainy Butte rises prominently above the western North Dakota plains, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by its isolated buttes and seasonal watercourses. The 1973 survey details a predominantly rural environment at the border of Slope and Hettinger counties, where the high-elevation terrain of Baldy Butte overlooks the drainage basins of Goose Creek and Coal Creek. The settlement pattern is sparse, centered on the small community of De Sart in the south, while the broader township divisions of Rainy Butte, New England, Carroll, and Strehlow organize the surrounding cattle country.
