About this map

Little Wolf Mountains and the Sarpy Mountains dominate this 2014 survey of the Big Horn and Rosebud County line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage features, including the multiple branches of Williams Prong Indian Coulee and the deep incisions of Lynch Coulee. This area of Montana illustrates a complex system of water management and natural runoff, where features like Water Holes Cr and Wood Gulch provide critical topographical markers in a high-elevation environment.

Transportation through this terrain is limited to narrow corridors such as Fox Ridge Rd and Indian Coulee Rd, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and valleys. Named landmarks like Chalky Point serve as distinct navigational aids for those tracking the historical boundary lines between T1S and T2S. The map also traces the upper reaches of the E Fork Sarpy Cr and various forks of Butte Cr, showing how the hydrology shapes the cattle-country ranching land.
