2020 Map of Saint Xavier NE

About this map

Good Horse Coulee and Scott Coulee carve through this landscape of Big Horn County, Montana, revealing a complex network of ephemeral drainages and deep ravines. The terrain is defined by its series of coulees—including Ox Yoke Coulee and the specifically named East Dipping Vat Coulee—which suggest a history of livestock management and natural water catchment. This 2020 survey captures the hydrological layout of the region, where Shoulder Blade Cr and Onion Cr serve as primary collectors for the surrounding slopes. Other named watercourses like Bear-in-Middle Cr and Mud Springs Cr flow toward the east, following the natural tilt of the land. The absence of modern towns or dense road networks emphasizes the open, agricultural character of this portion of Montana, where place names are derived from the physical features of the land rather than human settlements.
