About this map

Rosebud Creek and its many tributaries anchor this detailed look at the rural borderlands between Stillwater and Carbon counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems, reflecting a long history of cattle ranching and agricultural development. Names like the Ross-Flannigan-Ditch, Sylvester-Beasley Ditch, and Selleck-Espeland Ditch reveal the family legacies imprinted on the land. The topography rises toward high vantage points such as Yancey Hill and the broad plateaus of Coleman Bench and Spring Creek Bench. Cultural history is noted along the northern edge with roads such as Plenty Coups Rd and the Crow Child Trl, while Smith Bridge provides a crossing over the creek as the geography shifts between mountain-fed waters and open plains.
