About this map

Rotten Grass Creek and its many tributaries carve through this high-altitude landscape along the Montana and Wyoming border. The terrain is defined by prominent divides such as Buffalo Horn Ridge and Tepee Pole Ridge, which separate the drainages of Black Canyon Creek and Lodge Grass Creek. A rare human landmark in this expansive territory is the Aspen Grove Cabin, located in the northwest near Soap Creek.

The importance of water sources in this high country is evident from the naming of specific features like Red Springs, Paint Springs, and Tepee Pole Spring. These locations, along with the North Fork Rotten Grass Canyon, suggest a landscape shaped by narrow corridors of travel and seasonal resource management. The map documents the physical geography of the Buck Ridge area before more modern developments might have altered these traditional landmarks.
