About this map

Lame Deer serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the confluence of several critical drainages including Lame Deer Cr and Soldier Gulch. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways such as Muddy Cr, Coal Cr, and Spotted Elk Cr, which dictate the placement of transportation routes like Westside Rd and State Hwy 4.

Genealogical and local history value is centered around the Muddy Creek Cem located near Juddy Cr in the western portion of the quadrangle. The naming conventions throughout the area, including Sweet Medicine Gulch and Calls First Gulch, reflect a cultural landscape deeply tied to the Northern Cheyenne. In the southern reaches, the topography becomes even more complex near Longjaw Coulee and the headwaters of S Fork Lame Deer Cr, illustrating the challenging geography of the Big Horn and Rosebud County border.
