2020 Map of Saint Xavier

About this map

St. Xavier serves as the central hub of this Big Horn County landscape, where the Bighorn River and its accompanying Big Horn Canal define the irrigation and transport patterns of the region. The map documents a complex system of water management essential to the high plains, featuring the Soap Cr Ditch alongside numerous drainages such as Rotten Grass Cr and Beauvais Cr. Local history is anchored by the Saint Xavier Catholic Mission Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted missionary and tribal heritage. To the east, the terrain rises toward the distinctive Mission Buttes, while the surrounding land is dissected by numerous coulees, including Saint Xavier Coulee, Del Howe Coulee, and Ox Yoke Coulee. The road network, including the Pryor Cutoff and Good Luck Rd, provides a clear view of how these remote settlements remained connected across the rugged Big Horn valley.
