1955 Map of Rattlesnake Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Cherry Creek winds through the heart of this Ziebach County landscape, carving a deep, meandering course through the Missouri River Basin during the mid-1950s. The map highlights the isolation of prairie life, where large ranching operations like Knight Ranch and Samuelson Ranch serve as primary landmarks across the rolling draws. The presence of Rattlesnake Lake and its associated spillway indicates the importance of water management in this semi-arid region, supported by smaller features like Jesse Dam and Little Dog Dam. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the documentation of the Frazier Ch and the Little Dog Cem, which, along with the small settlement at Felix, anchor the community history of this ranching territory. Notable geographic shifts are recorded in the Old Channel, reflecting the dynamic nature of the local waterways over time.
