About this map

Old Ford Place serves as a lone named habitation point within this high-plains landscape where the border of Big Horn Co and Treasure Co meets. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage features, including the evocatively named Fountain of Youth Coulee and Summer Springs Coulee. These seasonal watercourses carve through the topography, leading toward broader areas like Poverty Flats in the south.

Local history and land use are reflected in descriptive labels such as Sawmill Draw and Horse Pasture Coulee, suggesting the agricultural and timber-related activities that once centered around reliable water sources like Dudley Spring. The map documents a specific ranching environment where named landmarks such as West Fork Brant Coulee and Hoshow Coulee provided essential orientation for early settlers and contemporary land managers alike.
