About this map

Pryor serves as a central hub within the Crow Indian Res Bdy, where the intersection of water rights and cultural history is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Pryor Creek and an intricate network of irrigation channels, including Pryor Ditch No 1, Pryor Ditch No 2, and Pryor Ditch No 3. These ditches reflect the intensive agricultural management of the Big Horn County valley floor during the late 1960s.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and communal sites. The Chief Plenty Coups Memorial State Park Grave stands as a primary landmark near the St Charles Mission Sch. Several burial grounds, such as Big Day Cem, Pryor Cem, and Singgood Cem, are documented alongside smaller settlements like Graves, providing a detailed record of the community's footprint in this part of Montana.
