About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate this high-plains landscape in Big Horn County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named water sources. This 2024 topographic survey captures the intricate hydrology of the region, where the North Fork Rosebud Creek and South Fork Rosebud Creek carve through the terrain. The map is particularly notable for its documentation of specific water points, including 07S38E14ACDD01 Spring and 08S38E02CCBA01 Spring, which reflect the essential nature of reliable water in this part of Montana.

Lower elevations are defined by the winding paths of the North Fork Squirrel Creek and the various branches of Spring Creek. While devoid of major settlements, the map provides a detailed look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t7s r38e and t8s r38e, which historically governed ranching and land use in this corner of the state. This record of the modern landscape remains vital for understanding the geographic context of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation area and its surrounding foothills.
