About this map

Jung Lake and the surrounding high plains of Hettinger County are defined by a grid of section line roads and intermittent watercourses that drain toward the southeast. The landscape is punctuated by significant topographic rises, most notably Rainy Butte in the west and the Tepee Buttes in the southeast corner. These landmarks provided essential orientation for early settlers in an otherwise uniform prairie environment.

Genealogists can locate two distinct burial sites within this quadrangle: Rainy Butte Cem near the base of its namesake height and Havelock Cem in the northeast. The drainage network, including Coal Bank Cr, Goose Cr, and Coon Cr, illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region, where seasonal flow shaped the placement of farmsteads and the orientation of local travel along routes like 63rd St SW and 115th Ave SW.
