2024 Map of Soda Springs

About this map

Soda Springs serves as the central landmark for this Montana landscape, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Pryor Mountains shape the local topography. This 2024 survey captures the intricate network of coulees and seasonal waterways, including East Wets Creek and Lone Tree Coulee, which flow through the dissected plateaus of Yellowstone County. The map provides a contemporary look at the rural infrastructure in the Crow Indian Reservation area, particularly along the Indian Svc Rd and Vermandel Rd. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the headwaters of the East Fork Pryor Creek and East Pryor Creek, illustrating how the hydrology of this semi-arid region continues to define land use and transportation routes. These features are key for understanding the modern footprint of tribal lands and ranching activity.
