2020 Map of Rowley

About this map

Rowley and Toluca are the primary points of reference in this corner of Big Horn County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Two Leggins Creek system. The map documents a transition in regional transportation, showing the path of Old US Hwy 87 alongside modern infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by intricate coulees and draws, most notably Williams Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward several watercourses including Peatisa Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The intricate network of the N Fork Two Leggins Cr, Middle Fork Two Leggins Cr, and S Fork Two Leggins Cr dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology that shaped local settlement and land use in this Big Horn Basin territory.
