About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation landscape of Big Horn County is defined by the winding drainages of Reno Creek and its southern tributaries. Based on 1966 aerial photography and 1967 field checks, this survey documents a period when the terrain was primarily managed for grazing and resource exploration, as evidenced by a Jeep Trail and a Drill Hole in the central uplands.

Remote infrastructure like the Fellows Landing Strip near the northern border suggests the logistical importance of aviation in this high-plains environment. The map details a complex system of seasonal water sources, including the South Fork and Long Otter Creek, which feed into the primary creek beds. This topographic record is particularly valuable for tracing historical fence lines and early ranching paths across the Shavings Creek and Slaughter Creek basins before later developments altered these traditional routes.
