About this map

The Beauvais Creek drainage and its numerous tributaries dominate this landscape in south-central Montana. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Big Woody Creek and the multiple branches of Buster Creek, such as the West Fork Buster Creek and East Fork Buster Creek. Transportation across this remote area is primarily facilitated by the Pryor Cutoff and the Pryor St Xavier Rd, which cross the drainage basins.

Water management in the high plains is evidenced by the Crow Number 7 Dam situated along Little Woody Creek in the northern portion of the map. This infrastructure, alongside features like Push Creek and Scott Creek, highlights the importance of seasonal and permanent water sources in this region. The absence of concentrated settlements emphasizes a landscape utilized for ranching or traditional transit between larger hubs.
