About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate this high-plains landscape in Big Horn County, Montana, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages carves through the terrain. The hydrological pattern is defined by the convergence of several major creek systems, including Little Owl Cr and Little Beaver Cr, which flow through deep coulees and draws. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a handful of established ranch roads like Owl Creek Rd and Bear Creek Rd that follow the natural contours of the land.

Water management is a central feature of this environment, anchored by the Steinhilber Reservoir in the western portion of the quadrangle. Significant elevation changes are evident at Sioux Pass, a natural corridor through the hills. The map illustrates a ranching landscape where access depends on these specific passes and named drainages like Kid Cr and Sioux Pass Cr, reflecting the challenges of navigating this interior portion of the state.
