2017 Map of Section House Draw

About this map

West Pryor Mtn anchors this terrain in southern Montana, where the boundary between Carbon and Big Horn counties cuts through a complex system of drainage and relief. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Black Canyon and Section House Draw, reflecting the geological character of the Pryor Mountains. Seasonal and perennial water sources like Sand Spring and Bird Spring provided critical watering points for early travel through this arid region. The drainage network is particularly dense, with the N Fork, Middle Fork, and original Fivemile Cr converging to the west, while Bluewater Cr and its southern fork dominate the central reaches. A primary passage through the high country is marked by the Pryor Gap, a distinctive natural break in the mountain topography utilized by Pryor Gap Rd.
