About this map

The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, where the Bighorn River cuts through the terrain of the Crow Indian Reservation. This 1960s survey, updated in 1980, captures a region defined by water management and resource extraction. The Big Horn Canal and various ditch systems distribute water through the valleys, while the Soap Creek Oil Field and numerous pipelines mark the industrial activity in the southeast.

Stream networks including Mountain Pocket Creek and Soap Creek provide the primary drainage for the area's intricate topography. Smaller infrastructure, such as a Gaging Sta and a Flowing Well, indicate the importance of monitoring water resources in this Montana environment. The presence of several Gravel Pits further suggests a landscape shaped by local material needs during this era of development.
