About this map

Red Springs and Tepee Pole Spring mark a rugged landscape where the high plateaus of Sheridan County meet the Montana state line. This 2014 survey documents a territory defined by deep drainage systems and sharp elevation changes, notably within Rotten Grass Canyon and Lodge Grass Canyon. The geography here is a complex network of high ridges, including Telephone Ridge and Buffalo Horn Ridge, which separate the various forks of the local creek systems.

Remote roads such as Windy Point Rd and Black Canyon Rd provide the only access through this dissected terrain. The naming conventions, from Soap Creek Canyon to Tepee Pole Ridge, reflect a deep connection to the regional hydrology and local landmarks. This map captures the intersection of Big Horn and Sheridan Counties at a moment when the natural drainage of Percheron Creek and Lodge Grass Creek continues to shape the character of this borderland.
