2017 Map of Williamson Butte

About this map

Williamson Butte stands as a central geographic marker in this section of Blaine County, where the high-plains terrain is carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and coulees. The landscape is defined by its water management and ranching features, such as the T U Reservoir and the adjacent T U Bench, which suggest the agricultural utility of this arid region. High points like Goat Mtn provide vertical relief above the branching systems of Bullwhacker Coulee and Coal Mine Coulee. Transportation across this remote area is facilitated by Lloyd Rd, which crosses over Cow Creek Bridge to connect the disparate segments of Cow Cr. This survey illustrates the relationship between the natural topography of the Missouri River breaks region and the sparse but vital human infrastructure required for land use in central Montana.
