About this map

The Bighorn River carves a central path through this Big Horn County landscape, accompanied by the extensive irrigation network of the Big Horn Canal. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct drainages or coulees, several of which bear names tied to the region's cultural and natural history, such as Whiskey Coulee, Wild Horse Coulee, and Good Horse Coulee.

Settlement patterns in the early 21st century are characterized by rural ranching and infrastructure, notably at Prante Ranch. Transportation is facilitated by MT-313 and a network of named local roads like Schanaman Rd and Uffelman Loop. The map provides a detailed view of the water management essential to the area, tracing the smaller tributaries of Woody Cr and Spring Cr as they contribute to the river valley's hydrology.
