2020 Map of Mott Creek

About this map

Wild Horse Ridge dominates the northern skyline of this Big Horn County landscape, where the high ground transitions into a complex system of drainages and coulees. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of Beauvais Cr and Mott Cr, which structure the movement of both water and local travel through the region. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely settled area where transportation is anchored by the Pryor-St Xavier Hwy and the connected Pryor St X Rd. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of the Crow Reservation vicinity, naming several distinctive landforms such as Corral Coulee, Bear Coulee, and Horse Coulee. These features indicate a history of land use tied closely to the natural contours of the Montana plains, where named points like Point Cr and Muddy Cr served as essential landmarks for navigation and ranching.
