2018 Map of West Rainy Butte
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
West Rainy Butte and Rainy Butte dominate this portion of the western North Dakota badlands, rising sharply above the surrounding prairie. These prominent landmarks provided critical navigation points for early travelers across Slope County long before the modern grid of county roads was established. In the southeast corner, the DeSart Cem serves as a small but significant site for family history, marking a quiet legacy of the homesteading era. Drainage for the region is provided by Chanta Peta Cr, which meanders through the breaks and coulees between the buttes and Prairie Hill. The landscape is largely defined by wide open spaces and the Public Land Survey System grid, which is reflected in the long straight stretches of 61st St SW and 130th Ave SW.
