2014 Map of Bay Horse

About this map

Huckins School and the ranching landscape of Powder River County define this section of the Montana-Wyoming border region. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Bowers Creek, Bay Horse Creek, and Butte Creek, which cut through the high-plains terrain. Significant elevation points like Bear Skull Mountain, Baldy Peak, and Rocky Butte provide distinct landmarks for the scattered settlements and agricultural operations such as the 3 Bar Ranch. Roads like Recluse Rd and Butte Creek Rd navigate the township and range lines, connecting the small community of Bay Horse to the surrounding drainage basins. This map illustrates the intersection of water resources and ranching life, where named creeks and isolated schoolhouses reflect the sparse but enduring human presence in the Big Sky country.
