2024 Map of Buffalo Hill

About this map

Charles M Russell National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a significant portion of this Garfield County landscape, where the breaks and drainages flow toward the Missouri River system. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees, including Burdick Coulee and Jasper Coulee, which carve through the high plains. Central to the area is Buffalo Hill, a prominent landmark that overlooks the surrounding prairie. This 2024 survey documents the hydrography of the region's intermittent streams, such as the North Fork Woody Creek and South Fork Woody Creek, which gather in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of modern development reflects the remote character of this protected wilderness area, highlighting the intricate natural topography of Wolf Creek and the various Ried Coulee branches that shape the southern reach of the map.
