About this map

Buffalo Jump and the surrounding terrain of Half Moon Hill dominate this landscape in Big Horn County, Montana. The map documents a significant cultural and topographical intersection where the Rosebud Battlefield Rd and the Rosebud Battlefield Loop trace the history of the region. These roads wind through a complex system of drainage basins, including Rosebud Cr and the various forks of Leaf Rock Cr and Monument Creek.

Numerous natural springs, such as 07S39E10BCA01 Spring and 08S39E04BBBB01 Spring, are precisely plotted across the townships, indicating the vital importance of water sources in this high-plains environment. The presence of Eagle Nest Peak and the concentration of spring-fed creeks like Spring Cr illustrate a land shaped by both its geology and its deep historical roots, particularly where MT-314 cuts through the valley floors.
