2014 Map of Bonetraill

About this map

Bonetraill and the surrounding high plains of Williams County are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural section roads and ephemeral drainage patterns. This 2014 survey captures a quiet agricultural landscape where the settlement of Gladys sits in the north, while Heidemann Coulee and the meandering Blacktail Cr carve through the prairie terrain. The map documents the persistent layout of the rural township system, marked by numbered routes like 74th St NW and 147th Ave NW. Aviation and recreation are localized at the Hought Airstrip and the waters of Blacktail Lake, reflecting the practical and social uses of the land in the modern era. The topography reveals the subtle elevation changes characteristic of this portion of the Missouri Plateau, where small coulees and creeks provide the only significant breaks in the vast, open horizon.
