About this map

Shick Ranch occupies a central position in this high plains landscape of Big Horn County, where the drainage patterns of several seasonal creeks dictate the terrain's character. The map illustrates a network of erosional features including Eychaner Coulee, Mission Coulee, and Ash Coulee, which channel runoff toward more prominent waterways like Rotten Grass Creek and the bifurcated North Fork Good Luck Creek.

Remote infrastructure in this part of Montana is primarily represented by BIA Road Route 73, serving as a critical artery through the rugged land divisions of T5S and T6S. The spatial arrangement of water sources such as Sunday Creek and North Sand Creek highlights the importance of localized geography for ranching operations in this semi-arid environment, providing a clear view of the territorial organization as it existed in the early 21st century.
