About this map

Kirby sits within the drainage basin of Rosebud Cr, surrounded by a complex network of branching coulees and seasonal stream beds that define this portion of Big Horn County. The settlement is positioned along Co RD 314, where the valley floor meets rising elevations marked by distinctive landforms like Schoolhouse Coulee and Smith Coulee. These features, along with Long Coulee, suggest a landscape deeply carved by water movement over time.

Water resources are concentrated along the primary artery of Rosebud Cr, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Cache Cr, Spring Cr, and Coal Bank Cr. To the east, the topography climbs toward the prominence of Horn Mtn. The map also captures the upper reaches of various drainages such as Dale Cr and N Fork Fourmile Cr, illustrating the watershed divides that shaped local grazing and ranching patterns in this Big Horn County interior.
