2012 Map of Rattlesnake Butte West

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte stands as a prominent elevation in this segment of Tripp County, marking a prairie landscape defined by a precise grid of rural roads and drainage patterns. The ephemeral waters of No Moccasin Cr meander across the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, carving subtle paths through the high plains. The area is characterized by large-scale agricultural land divisions, with primary north-south corridors like 324th Ave and 322nd Ave intersecting east-west routes such as 270th St and 275th St. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring section-line road system typical of South Dakota's farming and ranching country, showing how modern infrastructure continues to follow the historical township and range boundaries established over a century ago.
