Ice Cream Butte and the surrounding drainage basins of Rosebud County define this landscape of early 21st-century water management. The terrain is deeply inscribed by the forks of Horse Creek, which feed a series of small-scale impoundments including Big Reservoir and East Fork Reservoir. These numerous named dams, such as Whaley Number 10 Dam and Swart Number 9 Dam, indicate a highly managed hydraulic system tailored to the arid requirements of Montana ranching.
