1997 Map of Rattlesnake Butte

About this map

The Green River and the South Fork Green River converge in this Billings County landscape, defining a region where rural infrastructure follows the natural drainage of the Badlands. In the late 20th century, the presence of a Gas Plant and numerous industrial sites like the Scoria Pit and various gravel pits indicates a landscape deeply tied to resource extraction. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several rural educational and religious hubs that served the surrounding farmstead community, including St Demetrius Ch, Klym Sch, and Schaff Sch. The prominent landmark of Rattlesnake Butte stands as a central navigational point amidst the section lines, while several burial grounds, such as St Marys Cem and St Boniface Cem, provide essential data points for genealogical study in this portion of North Dakota.
