2014 Map of Mott Creek

About this map

Wild Horse Ridge stands as a prominent elevation in this high plains landscape of Big Horn County, where a network of seasonal drainages and coulees defines the local geography. The area's water system consists of Beauvais Cr, Point Cr, Mott Cr, and Muddy Cr, which have carved out distinct terrain features such as Corral Coulee, Bear Coulee, and Horse Coulee. These names suggest a history of ranching and livestock movement through the draws and across the ridges. Transportation across this portion of the Crow Reservation is anchored by the Pryor-Saint Xavier Rd and Hwy 91, which intersect the natural topography. The map's township and range lines, including t4s r30e and t5s r29e, provide the primary structure for land management in this sparsely settled region of southern Montana.
