About this map

Birdseye Spring serves as a vital water source in this high-plains landscape of Big Horn County, where the terrain is deeply dissected by a network of seasonal and perennial drainage systems. The topography is defined by the winding course of Rosebud Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Eagle Feathers Cr and E Thompson Cr. These waterways carve distinct paths through the hills, creating a complex series of ridges and draws.

Human activity is concentrated along the few established routes, most notably Co Rd 314, which follows the Rosebud valley. The map reveals the intricate natural plumbing of the region through named features like Spring Gulch, Sheep Gulch, and Skunk Cr. This 2020 survey documents the enduring physical character of the Montana backcountry, highlighting the essential relationship between the sparse road network and the life-sustaining waters of Busby Cr and its southern fork.
