About this map

Williamson Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of the Missouri River Breaks region during the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the ranching operations of the T U Ranch, which utilized the T U Bench and T U Reservoir to manage water resources in this arid environment. The drainage pattern is complex, featuring the North Fork and South Fork of numerous nameless coulees, alongside the named Bullwhacker Coulee and Black Coulee.

Evidence of modern infrastructure is visible through a prominent Pipeline crossing the terrain and a remote Landing Strip near Goat Mountain. The presence of a Spoil Bank near Cow Creek suggests localized land modification, perhaps related to the water management or the pipeline corridor. This survey provides a clear view of the late 20th-century intersection between traditional cattle ranching and modern industrial utility in Blaine County.
