2011 Map of Bullion Butte

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a serpentine path through this Slope County landscape, defining the topography around the prominent Bullion Butte. The area is characterized by large agricultural holdings, including the Adams Ranch, Paasch Ranch, and Wasepka Ranch, which are connected by a network of rural roads such as W River Rd and E River Rd. A notable point of local history is the Connell Cemetery, situated near the confluence of Dry Creek and the main river channel. Numerous drainage features like Bear Creek, Bullion Creek, and Hanleys Wash underscore the complex hydrological network of the North Dakota badlands. This survey illustrates the relationship between the rugged terrain of the butte and the managed ranch lands that utilize the river valley.
