About this map

Harvey Divide and a series of high ridges define the drainage patterns of this corner of Crook County. The landscape is carved by watercourses like Houston Cr and the S Fork Little Houston Cr, which flow through the northern reaches, while Inyan Kara Cr and Beaver Cr navigate the southern terrain. This topography created natural corridors for early travel, reflected in the network of historic routes such as Old Sundance Rd and the Sundance-Wind River Rd.

Named geographical features like Montgomery Canyon and Nefsy Divide suggest a landscape long defined by the families and ranchers who navigated these breaks. The road network, including Coal Divide Rd and Simmons Cut Off Rd, traces the high ground between watersheds, offering a clear view of how the physical geography of Little Pine Ridge dictated the movement of people and livestock across the Wyoming range.
