2014 Map of Bull Butte

About this map

The high plateau of Bull Butte dominates the center of this northern prairie landscape along the border of Roosevelt County, Montana, and Williams County, North Dakota. This portion of the northern Great Plains exhibits a sparse settlement pattern defined by a rigid section-line road grid, including Lamar Rd and E N Froid Rd. Water is a critical feature in this semi-arid environment, with the small Picard Reservoir and intermittent drainages like Sand Cr and Little Muddy Cr cutting through the topography. The map illustrates the intersection of state lines and public land survey systems, showing the transition between t30n r58e and t30n r59e, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
