About this map

Red Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Big Horn County region, providing a high-ground backdrop to an intricate drainage network. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of Pleasant Creek and Plum Creek, which navigate the elevation shifts between the various township and range boundaries. Numerous unnamed springs, such as 01N37E07DBAC01 Spring, are documented throughout the eastern sections, indicating a landscape where water sources were critical for land management and early ranching efforts.

Transportation is centered on Iron Springs Rd, which provides primary access through the drainage basins of East Cabin Creek and Spring Creek. The map details the transition from the high ridges down to the valley floor of Sarpy Creek in the southeast. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, maintaining the original township subdivisions that have guided land ownership in this part of Montana for over a century.
