2011 Map of Bear Coulee SW

About this map

Little Mountain serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Big Horn County, characterized by a complex drainage system flowing toward the north and east. The branching headwaters of West Fork Buster Creek, Middle Fork Buster Creek, and East Fork Buster Creek dominate the upper half of the terrain, illustrating the intricate erosional patterns of the Montana foothills. To the south, the water network shifts as Pitchfork Creek and Hoodoo Creek carve through the arid topography. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a largely undeveloped region where geographic features like Horse Coulee and Point Creek define the natural boundaries. The map provides a clear look at the seasonal watercourses and ridges of the Crow Indian Reservation area, offering essential data for those studying the physical geography and ranching environment of the region.
