2024 Map of Williams Lake

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this western North Dakota landscape, where the high plains transition between Golden Valley and Slope counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Bull Run Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which carve through the land before reaching the namesake William Lake and Williams Creek to the northeast. A sparse grid of rural roads, such as 168th Ave SW and 57th St SW, provides the only human imprint on this vast protected area. The map illustrates the complex township and range system, specifically t136n r106w and its neighbors, showing how the Public Land Survey System partitioned this territory into sections. In the southern portion, Horse Creek meanders through the grassland, reflecting the characteristic hydrology of the region's badlands and prairie breaks.
