2015 Map of Rattlesnake Butte East

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte and the Buffalo Buttes dominate this high plains landscape along the border of Tripp and Gregory counties. This 2015 survey reveals a sparse, rural grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Daughters Rd, serving a community centered around landmark landmarks like Our Savior Cem. The drainage pattern is defined by the winding paths of Bull Creek and the West Branch Bull Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain of the northern Great Plains. These watercourses and their associated draws dictate the placement of local infrastructure and private landholdings in this part of South Dakota, where the Public Land Survey System remains the primary framework for local geography.
