About this map

The Little Bighorn River flows through this borderland region where Montana meets Wyoming, sustaining a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The Little Bighorn Valley is defined by an extensive system of man-made waterways, including the historic Bozeman Trail Ditch, the Upper Little Bighorn Canal Number Two, and several smaller channels like Thompson Ditch and Stevens Ditch. These features illustrate the vital role of water management in the high plains economy.

Local landmarks such as Brightwing Cem near the northern boundary and the rugged drainage systems of Pass Cr, Crazy Cr, and Gay Cr characterize the terrain. Transport in the area is facilitated by rural routes like W Back Loop Rd and S Hwy 418, which trace the natural contours of the valley. The map clearly delineates the Big Horn Co Sheridan Co line, providing a precise record of late-modern land divisions and water rights infrastructure.
