2018 Map of Bullion Butte

About this map

Bullion Butte dominates this Badlands landscape, rising above the complex drainage networks of the Little Missouri River as it passes through the Little Missouri National Grassland. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief and seasonal watercourses, including Hanleys Wash, Dry Bullion Cr, and Bear Cr. This 2018 survey reveals the intersection of several North Dakota counties, including Billings, Golden Valley, and Slope. Local history and genealogy interest is centered on the Connell Cem near the river, and the presence of scattered water sources such as Black Spring and Lime Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and grassland region, with a limited road network consisting of routes like W River Rd, Pipeline Rd, and W Creola Hwy crossing the section lines.
