2024 Map of Saint Xavier

About this map

St. Xavier serves as the focal point of this Big Horn County landscape, where the Bighorn River and Rotten Grass Creek converge. The settlement is defined by its cultural and infrastructure landmarks, including the Saint Xavier Catholic Mission Cem and a local Po. The geography is shaped by the sophisticated water management of the Big Horn Canal, which skirts the western valley floor before the terrain rises into the dissected breaks of the Mission Buttes. Numerous named drainages, such as Del Howe Coulee and Saint Xavier Coulee, carve through the eastern uplands. These coulees, along with descriptors like West Dipping Vat Coulee, point to the region's long-standing ranching traditions and the practical necessity of navigating the complex coulee systems that feed into the river valley.
