2014 Map of Rattlesnake Butte

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte rises as a prominent landmark in the high plains of Billings County, anchoring a landscape shaped by the Green River and its southern tributary, the S Fork Green River. This 2014 survey captures a rural section of North Dakota where the grid of sectional roads like 127th Ave SW and 26th St SW intersects with the north-south corridor of Us-85. Local history is anchored by two distinct religious sites, Saint Marys Cem in the northern portion and Saint Boniface Cem further south, suggesting established community nodes in an otherwise sparsely populated ranching or farming region. Small drainage systems such as Spring Cr and Horse Cr carve subtle valleys into the topography, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that define this part of the Missouri Plateau.
