About this map

The Little Wolf Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this Treasure and Big Horn County boundary region, where complex drainage networks define the high plains. Water sources are the lifeblood of this arid country, evidenced by the high density of named springs like 02N38E30BBCA01 Spring and 03N37E36CDDA01 Spring that dot the coulees. The terrain is deeply incised by Minnehaha Cr and the winding course of Horse Cr, creating a series of natural corridors used for local travel along Horse Creek Rd.

Remote ranching life is reflected in the sparse infrastructure, focused on isolated roads like Wilson Rd and Sarpy Rd that follow the contours of Willoughby Coulee and Bar Coulee. To the southwest, the headwaters of Sarpy Cr and E Fork Sarpy Cr begin their northward trek. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology and land divisions of the northern Montana range during the early 21st century.
