2014 Map of Williamson Butte

About this map

Williamson Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Blaine County, where the high plains are deeply incised by a complex network of coulees and creeks. The landscape is defined by its water management and drainage patterns, featuring the T U Reservoir and the extensive Bullwhacker Coulee. Transport through this open range is facilitated by early routes such as Lloyd Rd and Golden Valley Rd, which cross the drainage of Cow Cr at the Cow Creek Bridge. The topography reveals the transition from flat benches like T U Bench to the more varied terrain around Goat Mtn. This area's ranching and resource history is etched into its naming conventions, from the industrial suggestion of Coal Mine Coulee to the various forks of the perennial and seasonal waterways that sustain this part of the northern Missouri River watershed.
