About this map

Wild Horse Ridge stands as a prominent elevation in this Big Horn County landscape, where the high plains are deeply incised by a network of drainage coulees. Water flows primarily through Beauvais Cr and Mott Cr, which carve through the land alongside features named for the local fauna, such as Bear Coulee and Horse Coulee. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief and the intricate web of smaller tributaries like Point Cr and Muddy Cr.

Transportation through this part of the Crow Reservation relies on a handful of established routes, most notably the Pryor-St Xavier Rd and Grapevine Rd. These roads track the natural contours of the ridges and valleys, providing essential connectivity across the vast open ranges of southern Montana. The map reflects a landscape shaped by both geological erosion and the enduring cattle-ranching culture suggested by names like Corral Coulee.
