2017 Map of Half Moon Hill

About this map

Buffalo Jump serves as a prominent landmark in this corner of Big Horn County, marking a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The terrain is characterized by high points like Eagle Nest Peak and Half Moon Hill, which overlook a complex drainage system including Rosebud Cr and the various forks of Leaf Rock Cr and N Fork Monument Cr. This 2017 survey reflects the modern infrastructure of the region, where ranching and resource extraction roads such as Co RD 314, Hamilton Rd, and Spring Creek Mine Rd thread through the hills. The presence of a named buffalo jump provides a direct link to the indigenous history and hunting practices that long preceded the current road network and township divisions.
