2015 Map of Rattlesnake Butte

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of Ziebach County, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and winding drainage systems. The 2015 survey reveals the sparse settlement patterns of this West River region, where the terrain is carved by the Rattlesnake Cr and its eastern branch, E Rattlesnake Cr. These waterways, along with Red Coat Cr in the southwest, create a complex network of draws and ridges that dictate the movement across the prairie. The map illustrates the geographical isolation of features like Peaked Butte and Mud Butte, which serve as essential navigational markers in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of open land and a limited road network. This representation of District 2 provides a clear view of the township and range divisions, specifically where T12N and T11N meet R18E and R19E.
