1996 Map of East Pryor Mountain

About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation and Custer National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape, where the Pryor Mountain terrain is marked by deep coulees and canyons. The map documents a complex overlay of federal and tribal land management, including the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range and the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. Cultural history is noted through specific points like the Buffalo Jump near Pine Coulee and isolated Grave and Graves sites along South Fork Deadman Creek. Sparse settlement is represented by the Dry Head Ranch in the north, while resource exploration appears as various Prospects. The drainage network, featuring Lost Water Canyon Creek and Clabber Creek, illustrates the erosional forces that have shaped the limestone uplands of East Pryor Mountain.
