About this map

Rosebud Creek serves as the primary drainage through this landscape, winding past the small settlement of Jimtown and several established livestock operations. The topography is defined by numerous coulees and gulches that feed into the valley, including Davidson Coulee and Yellow Fox Gulch. These features, along with names like Blackstone Corral, reflect a rural Montana economy centered on ranching and open-range land use.

In the southern reaches of the map, Lame Deer Creek and Alderson Creek converge near the Lame Deer Cemetery. The road network, including Rosebud Cutoff Rd and Lynch Coulee Rd, provides access to more remote locations like McKay Ranch and Bailey Ranch. This map offers a detailed view of the water sources vital to this arid environment, identifying specific points such as Isaac Kye Spring and Barb Wood Spring.
