About this map

Devils Kitchen sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the border of Yellowstone and Treasure counties cuts through a series of dramatic coulees and drainages. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with the headwaters of numerous creeks including Alkali Cr, North Fork Horse Creek, and several branches of Edwards Creek carving through the terrain. Small-scale water management is evident through scattered landmarks like Horton Reservoir, Larsens Reservoir, and Teds Reservoir, which suggest the vital importance of water storage for ranching or agricultural operations in this semi-arid environment.

Transport through this territory is limited to a sparse network of rural routes such as Sumatra Road and Butt Camp Road. The map documents a landscape of traditional western place names, from the descriptive Sway Back and Dry Gulch to seasonal or historical markers like Winter Camp Coulee and Rough Coulee. This map provides a detailed view of the public land survey system, illustrating the townships of t7n r33e and t7n r34e as they were organized in the early twenty-first century.
