2017 Map of Rattlesnake Lake

About this map

Rattlesnake Lake and its surrounding drainage systems define this section of Ziebach County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and deep-cut terrain. The landscape is marked by prominent geographic depressions such as Little Dog Draw and Red Bull Draw, while the movement of Cherry Cr is evidenced by the presence of the Old Channel Cherry Cr. Human presence is spare but significant, represented by the Little Dog Cem situated near the intersection of the creek beds and the primary local transit route, BIA Hwy 6. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of the Great Plains, where Felix Cr, Ash Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr carve through the high prairie before joining the larger valley system.
