2014 Map of Benteen

About this map

Benteen and the surrounding Little Bighorn Valley define this portion of Big Horn County, where the landscape is marked by the passage of the Little Bighorn River. This 2014 survey documents a territory defined by its hydrologic network, with named tributaries like Shoulder Blade Cr, Bear-in-Middle Cr, and Mud Springs Cr cutting through the terrain. The agricultural and water management legacy of the region is evident in the presence of the Reno Canal and Lodge Grass Canal Number One, which trace the valley floor. Transportation is limited to functional routes such as Davis Creek Rd and Long Otter Rd, which provide access to the dispersed homesteads and grazing lands. The map serves as a contemporary record of the land divisions across T4S and T5S, capturing the enduring ranching character of this river valley.
