2024 Map of Rattlesnake Ridge

About this map

Soldiers Mt and Rattlesnake Ridge dominate this portion of the Powder River Basin, illustrating the high-relief drainage patterns characteristic of the Montana plains. The topography is defined by prominent divides such as Sixmile Ridge and Cedar Ridge, which separate various ephemeral and perennial waterways like Crow Creek, Timber Creek, and Mamie Creek. A rare permanent water source, Trout Pond, is situated in the central portion of the quadrangle, likely serving as a critical point for local livestock and wildlife in this semi-arid environment.
