About this map

North Sunday Creek meanders through this portion of Rosebud County, Montana, providing a life-giving water source in a landscape defined by its intricate coulee systems. The topography is shaped by the descent into North Bar Coulee and Owens Coulee, reflecting the drainage patterns of the northern plains. This 2011 survey highlights an extensive network of stock dams and water management features crucial for ranching operations in this arid environment.

Evidence of local land management is found at Venn Ranch, surrounded by a series of named earthen structures including Venn Number 1 Dam and Venn Number 4 Dam. To the south, additional water storage like Harding Number 1 Dam and Harding Number 2 Dam appears alongside the seasonal flows of Bow and Arrow Creek. Local transport is facilitated by Crow Rock Rd, which connects these remote ranching outposts across the prairie.
