The Powder River meanders through this section of Powder River County, Montana, carving a path through a landscape defined by expansive drainages and isolated water management structures. In this arid ranching country, water is the primary architect of the land, as seen in the numerous named tributaries like Bay Horse Creek, Buttermilk Creek, and Hell Creek. The presence of several named earthen dams, including the Huckins Number 2 Dam and the United States Number 2 Dam, points to a history of careful water conservation and livestock management. Local transportation is represented by ranch roads such as Big Powder River East Rd and Bay Horse Rd, which follow the natural contours of features like Kelly Draw and Ellis Canyon.
