About this map

The high plains of Big Horn County are defined here by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote ranching access roads. Central to the drainage system is Corral Creek and its extensive tributary, the South Fork Corral Creek, which carve through the Montana landscape. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along the southern reaches where Decker Rd provides transit through the territory. The map illustrates a classic western rangeland pattern where travel and land use are dictated by the natural corridors of the North Fork Waddle Creek and First Creek. This area, north of the Tongue River, remains an open landscape of topographic relief and watershed boundaries.
