1971 Map of Rattlesnake Butte West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Rosebud Indian Reservation in Tripp County provides the setting for this early 1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Rattlesnake Butte and Bradleyon Butte, which overlook the expansive Pleasant Valley and the southern plateau of Plainview. Settlement patterns are sparse and agrarian, centered around essential water sources such as Moccasin Creek and a scattered network of wells, including a notable Flowing Well near the eastern margin. Educational life for the rural population was anchored at the Plainview Sch, while local industry is represented by small-scale Gravel Pit excavations. The terrain is marked by the Bull Creek-Sully divide, showing the intricate drainage patterns that dictate the placement of ranch roads and homesteads across this high plains environment.
