2020 Map of Bear Coulee

About this map

Wild Horse Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Montana territory, where the border between Yellowstone and Big Horn counties bisects the high ground. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage networks, most notably Beauvais Cr, which carves a path through the eastern half of the map. This modern survey illustrates a rugged ranching and grazing environment marked by numerous named coulees, including Corral Coulee, Bear Coulee, and Horse Coulee. Transportation across these breaks is facilitated by the Pryor-St Xavier Rd and the Pryor St X Cut-Across, which provide the primary access through this remote landscape. The map detail highlights the complex hydrology of the region, featuring Big Woolly Cr and the various branches of Buster Cr, revealing the natural water sources essential for livestock and wildlife in this section of the Big Horn Basin.
