1971 Map of Rattlesnake Butte East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Bull Creek carves a central path through this landscape along the border of the Rosebud Indian Reservation Boundary, where the plateaus of the Missouri Coteau meet the northern reaches of Tripp County. The map reveals a sparse but established rural infrastructure of the early 1970s, characterized by isolated schoolhouses and religious landmarks like Mini Ska Ch and Our Savior Cem. Prominent topographical features such as Rattlesnake Butte and the Buffalo Buttes overlook a network of intermittent streams including Lone Tree Creek and the West Branch Bull Creek. This survey captures the transition from the Bull Creek - Sully region into the neighboring Dixon area, documenting localized industry through various Gravel Pits and gravel pits scattered across the high ground. Educational history is preserved here through the locations of the Bijou Sch and Sully Sch, which served the ranching families of this South Dakota prairie.
