About this map

Rattlesnake Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Big Horn County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages. The area is characterized by deep coulees that carve through the terrain, such as West Dipping Vat Coulee and Eychaner Coulee. These geographical features influenced the movement and settlement patterns of the region, providing natural corridors through the high ground.

Modern infrastructure is represented by Good Luck Rd, which skirts the eastern edge of the survey area. Water features like Rotten Grass Cr and Mission Coulee highlight the hydrology of this arid environment. Farther south, Cooper Basin and its associated Cooper Basin Coulee demonstrate the complex topography that defines this portion of Montana. This record from the U.S. Geological Survey captures the specialized land forms of the Crow Indian Reservation region during the early 21st century.
