2024 Map of Bullion Butte

About this map

Little Missouri River meanders through the heart of the Little Missouri National Grassland in this corner of North Dakota where Billings, Golden Valley, and Slope counties meet. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks and the prominent rise of Bullion Butte, which dominates the western half of the terrain. Family history interest is anchored by the Connell Cem located near Dry Creek in the northern reaches, offering a physical trace of early settlement in a region now largely dedicated to public land. Modern recreational use is represented by the Maah Daah Hey Trl, which follows the high ridges and river breaks. The map captures the complex system of coulees and washes, including Hanleys Wash and Bullion Creek, alongside essential water sources like Black Spring and Lime Spring that have long dictated movement through this western landscape.
