2017 Map of Bull Butte

About this map

Bull Butte stands as the central topographic landmark on this high-plains landscape where the Montana-North Dakota state line divides the territory between Roosevelt and Williams counties. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Little Muddy Creek in the southeast and the seasonal flows of Sand Creek and Saint Creek to the west. A network of rural section-line roads, such as RD 1000 and RD 2049, facilitates movement across the township-and-range grid, while Picard Reservoir provides a localized water source in the western reaches. This 2017 survey reflects the modern agricultural and energy-driven layout of the Williston Basin, preserving the names of local infrastructure like County Highway 68 and various township roads that serve as the backbone of this borderland region.
