2024 Map of Schultz Coulee

About this map

Ice Cream Butte rises as a distinct landmark above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages in Rosebud County. This region is characterized by its complex coulee systems, including Schultz Coulee, Hammerstrom Coulee, and Wagon Box Coulee, which serve as the primary natural corridors for water runoff in this semi-arid environment. The presence of Big Reservoir and East Fork Reservoir highlights the importance of water management for livestock and local land use, catching flow from tributaries like Cherry Creek and East Fork Horse Creek. The township and range lines of t8n r41e and its neighbors delineate the vast grazing lands, where modern infrastructure is minimal, represented largely by the winding path of Quarter Horse Rd. This survey captures the rural character of the high plains just before the mid-2020s, showing the intersection of natural topography and agricultural necessity.
