Drive through Medicine Hat to Dunmore on the #1.
Turn right at Eagle Butte Road in Dunmore(at the gas station).
You will pass Eagle Butte HighSchool and come to a intersection.
Keep heading south on Eagle Butte Road for about 20-25 miles.
Bullhead is on the east side of the road,there is a big sign stating Bullshead Reservoir and if you drive past it you will cross a creek and be able to see the spillway on the dam.
You cannot see the actual water of Bullshead from the road.
Road is oiled for alot of the way but does turn into gravel close to Bullshead.
Also come to it from Elkwater by taking the 514(just north of Elkwater),to Eagle Butte Road,then north to Bullshead.

Each county or district will have these maps.
You can get them at the county office.
The Cypress County or MD map is an excellent laminated binder type that will last a long time and is easy to use,no 5 foot roll up map to deal with.
You can usually get maps for different districts(usually in the general area) too.
So depending on where you are give your MD,county, or special area office a call and they should be able to set you up!
The Cypress County office is located just off highway #1 in Dunmore(north side).
