About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate this high-plains landscape along the border of Montana and Wyoming. The map documents a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainages that define the local topography, including the winding courses of Little Bear Cr, Wolf Cr, and Ash Cr. Settlement patterns are distinctly rural, centered around ranching operations such as the Bar V Ranch and Bar V Ranch NE.

Remote access through this portion of Big Horn Co is facilitated by unpaved routes like Little Owl Creek Rd and Sheep Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and valleys. Genealogists and historians can trace the specific water rights and landmarks of the era, such as the 08S37E26ACAC01 Spring and Canal Rd, which reflect the region's reliance on water management in an arid environment.
