2014 Map of Bear Coulee

About this map

Wild Horse Ridge dominates the western topography of this Montana landscape, where the border between Yellowstone County and Big Horn County cuts through a complex network of coulees and drainage basins. This area is defined by its dramatic relief and seasonal waterways, including the winding paths of Beauvais Cr and Scott Cr. In the southern portion of the map, transportation is limited to established routes like Pryor-Saint Xavier Rd and Hwy 91, which navigate the base of the ridges. The intricate drainage of Buster Cr, including its East, West, and Middle Forks, illustrates the erosional forces that have shaped Bear Coulee and Horse Coulee over time. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of land management and natural boundaries in this sparsely populated region of Big Sky Country.
