About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation dominates this 1890s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by the winding course of the Big Horn River and the high ridges of the Wolf Mountains. This era represents a significant period for the region's ranching history, as early outposts like Sand Hills Ranch, Forty Mile Ranch, and Yellow Weasel Ranch appear as isolated settlements along the riverbanks and mountain foothills. The map provides a detailed view of the complex drainage systems feeding the larger rivers, including Rosebud Creek and the East Fork Owl Creek. At the southern edge, the Montana Wyoming Boundary Line marks the transition into neighboring territory. The intricate contour lines showcase the rugged breaks and coulees that shaped the movement of both the Crow people and early ranchers in the Big Horn Basin.
