About this map

The Bighorn River cuts a wide path through this Big Horn County landscape, accompanied by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure designed to harness its waters for the surrounding terrain. The Big Horn Canal and the Soap Creek Ditch run parallel to the river and its tributaries, reflecting the critical role of water management in this portion of Montana. The topography is defined by significant drainage features including Hay Coulee and South Fork Hay Coulee, which channel runoff toward the main river valley.

Transportation through this rural expanse is anchored by the Pryor Cutoff and Spring Creek Rd, providing access to the higher ground between the river and Beauvais Creek in the north. To the southeast, the residential and agricultural pattern is highlighted by Little Owl Loop, near where Soap Creek joins the Bighorn system. This survey documents the intersection of natural waterways and the human-engineered diversions that sustain the valley.
