2020 Map of Holmes Ranch

About this map

Holmes Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Big Horn County, where the drainages of the N Fork Deer Cr and S Fork Deer Cr converge to form Deer Cr. This modern topographic survey reveals the intricate network of coulees and draws that define the southeastern Montana cattle country. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Badger Hills, while narrow corridors like Otter Rd and Deer Creek Rd provide the primary access through this sparsely populated region. Water remains the most critical resource in this arid environment, marked by named sources such as 09S41E12BPCD01 Spring and numerous ephemeral reaches like Coal Cr and Corral Cr. The map preserves the specific grazing land divisions of the early twenty-first century, showing the enduring ranching layout of the Powder River Basin area.
