2011 Map of Bighorn

About this map

The confluence of the Bighorn River and the Yellowstone River anchors this landscape in Treasure County, Montana. The small settlement of Bighorn, identified by its local landmark the Bighorn Post Office, sits near the southern bank where the valley widens. Historically significant sites like Fort Pease are situated north of the river, while the complex riparian environment is further defined by Government Island. This 2011 survey details an intricate irrigation network essential to the region's agricultural character, featuring the Bighorn Tullock Ditch and Victory Ditch. The terrain is marked by numerous named coulees, such as Pasco Coulee and Petes Coulee, and elevated overlooks like Guys Bluffs. Local transportation is traced through a system of secondary roads including Pease Bottom Rd and Meyers Rd, providing access to the various forks of Edwards Creek and Fortysix Creek that drain into the main river systems.
