2021 Map of Rattlesnake Lake NE

About this map

Cherry Cr defines the southern portion of this Ziebach County landscape, where the drainage network of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation branches into distinctive prairie draws. This modern era survey illustrates the complex topography of the western plains, marked by erosion features such as Little Dog Draw, Horn Draw, and Straighthead Draw. These natural landmarks provide essential orientation in a region defined by its wide, open drainages. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of tribal routes like Bia Hwy 6 and Bia Hwy 5, alongside Golden Eagle Rd, which provide the primary access through the townships of t9n r21e and t8n r21e. The map also captures the headwaters and tributaries of the Little Cottonwood Cr system in the north, showing how seasonal water flow has carved the South Dakota soil.
