About this map

The high plains of Yellowstone County are defined by a sparse network of coulees and rural resource extraction. Industrial activity is centered around the Berten Mine and Antelope Mine, situated near the confluence of local ridgelines and drainage basins. This area, north of the North County Line Rd and Border Rd, reveals a landscape managed for both water and mineral resources. The presence of the Wild Flower Dam along the western edge suggests localized efforts to control runoff for ranching or mining needs.

Transportation is primarily via gravel routes like Majerus Rd and Goulding Creek Rd, which parallel the natural drainages of Goulding Creek and the West Fork Razor Creek. These corridors provide access to the expansive grazing and mining lands that dominate the northeastern section of Hay Basin. The map details how the terrain dictates the layout of roads like Road Coulee Rd and Harper Coulee Rd, which follow the natural contours of the northern coulees.
