1968 Map of Bear Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the prominent Wild Horse Ridge, which serves as a major geographical spine through this portion of Big Horn and Yellowstone counties. Surveyed in 1968, the terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainages that support the seasonal ecology of the region. Significant watercourses including Woody Creek, Beauvais Creek, and the eponymous Bear Coulee snake through the breaks, illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of the Montana plains. This area is largely characterized by its lack of established towns, instead showing a vast network of fence lines and remote landmarks such as Scott Creek and Horse Coulee. The map provides a detailed study of land use within the reservation during the late 1960s, capturing the relationship between high ridges and the winding creek beds like Buster Creek and Push Creek that define the local topography.
