2017 Map of Lacey Gulch

About this map

Hanging Woman Cr meanders through this portion of the Montana prairie, defining a landscape of deep drainages and tributary draws. The terrain is marked by family-named and descriptive landmarks such as Van Meter Gulch, Haywood Gulch, and the starkly named Bad Land Gulch. This 2017 survey illustrates the remote character of the region near the Rosebud Co Big Horn Co boundary, where transport is limited to thoroughfares like Hanging Woman Creek Rd and Decker Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of the high plains, showing how Wrench Cr, Harris Cr, and Wall Cr have carved the earth into a series of ridges and basins typical of this part of Big Horn and Rosebud counties.
