2011 Map of Bentonite Flats

About this map

Bentonite Flats and the surrounding drainages in Big Horn County define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways, most notably Big Woody Creek, Little Woody Creek, and the larger Woody Creek system. The presence of several numbered catchment structures, such as Crow Number 32 Dam and Crow Number 20 Dam, reflects the region's managed water resources for livestock and land management. To the south, the map details the path of Beauvais Creek, while individual property or project-specific landmarks like the J R Scott Number 12 Dam and Coibson Number 1 Dam provide specific points of reference for local historians or land researchers tracing water rights and ranching boundaries.
