About this map

Shick Ranch occupies a high-relief landscape in Big Horn County, characterized by a complex network of coulees and seasonal drainages. The topography is defined by the sharp incisions of Eychaner Coulee, Mission Coulee, and Ash Coulee, which channel runoff toward more significant watercourses. The local transportation is dominated by Good Luck Rd, a path that winds through the heart of the terrain, following the natural contours of the land between various forks of water.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the region, including the meandering paths of Rotten Grass Cr and the distinct branches of North Fork Good Luck Creek and South Fork Good Luck Creek. Further north, North Sand Creek, South Sand Creek, and Sunday Creek further dissect the uplands. This 2014 survey documents the enduring ranching character of the Montana plains, where named landmarks often center on single homesteads and the drainage systems that support them.
