2014 Map of Birdseye Spring

About this map

Birdseye Spring serves as a central hydrological landmark within this portion of Big Horn County, situated among the complex drainage networks of the northern plains. The landscape is defined by its numerous named watercourses, including the north-flowing Rosebud Cr and the branching systems of Busby Cr and S Fork Busby Cr. This 2014 survey documents a territory where topography and water sources dictate the layout of rural travel, with Trail Creek Rd and Busby Creek Rd following the natural contours of the land. The presence of features like Spring Gulch, Sheep Gulch, and Skunk Cr reflects a history of local land use tied to the specific geology and seasonal hydrology of the region. The map also traces the path of MT-314 as it skirts the western edge of the quadrangle, paralleling the valley floor.
