2024 Map of Badbaby Coulee

About this map

Pryor Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this landscape in Yellowstone County, where drainage patterns have carved a dense system of coulees. The map details the convergence of the East Fork Pryor Creek and smaller seasonal flows like Badbaby Coulee and Smitty Coulee. Human intervention in this arid environment is evidenced by the Coburn Ditch, an irrigation feature that cuts through the northern sections near Alkali Creek. The topography is further navigated by local thoroughfares such as Hardin Rd and Pryor Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors. These roads, along with the Vermandel Indian Svc Rd, provide the primary access through the broken terrain of the Crow Indian Reservation boundaries and surrounding range lands.
