About this map

The Bighorn River carves a wide path through this portion of Big Horn County, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and irrigation infrastructure. The Big Horn Canal runs parallel to the river's eastern bank, illustrating the critical role of water management in this Montana valley. To the west, Woody Cr flows through the township blocks, while the eastern bluffs are deeply etched by numerous named coulees. These landforms, including Whiskey Coulee, Wild Horse Coulee, and Halfway House Coulee, suggest a history of ranching and travel through the breaks. Local transit is facilitated by a network of county roads such as Co Rd 313 and Crow-St Xavier Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations along the river bottom to the higher grazing lands above.
