About this map

Rosebud Cr and its intricate drainage network define this 2020 landscape in the Northern Cheyenne Reservation area. The settlement of Muddy and the Rosebud Housing development represent the primary focal points of human activity, situated among the complex draws and coulees of Big Horn County. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features like Two Moon Reservoir and the Muddy Springs, which reflect the essential role of water management in this high-plains environment.

Names like Medicine Elk Cr, Black Whiteman Cr, and Shavedhead Cr suggest a deep cultural history tied to the land and its people. This modern survey provides a precise look at the rural road network, including Muddy Creek Rd, as it navigates the breaks around Painted Hill and Wood Gulch. It is a clear record of the intersection between traditional geography and contemporary residential infrastructure.
