2011 Map of Bull Butte

About this map

Bull Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of the High Plains, overlooking a landscape defined by ranch roads and managed water resources. The terrain is intricately carved by Sand Creek and Little Muddy Creek, which provide the primary drainage for the surrounding prairie. Human impact on the land is most visible through the presence of several water management structures, including Picard Reservoir, Band Aid Dam, and Horab Dam. These features, alongside a grid of rural routes such as Snake Butte Rd and Lamar Rd, illustrate the reliance on irrigation and livestock watering in this agricultural region. The map preserves the layout of section lines and the local transportation network, serving as a record of the rural infrastructure in Williams County during the early twenty-first century.
