2011 Map of Cayuse Basin

About this map

Cayuse Basin is defined by its deep coulees and prominent landforms, such as Steamboat Butte and Skull Butte, which rise above the surrounding drainage networks. The terrain is carved by the Dry Wolf Creek and Running Wolf Creek systems, creating a series of named ravines including Coal Mine Coulee and Vann Coulee. These geographic features often reflect the early industrial and homesteading history of Judith Basin County, as evidenced by names like Nickerson Coulee and Dunsmore Coulee.
