About this map

Spring Creek Ranch serves as the central point of interest in this Big Horn County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the high plains dictate the movement of both water and travelers. The map reveals a sophisticated water management system for this arid environment, evidenced by the Upper Indian Creek Reservoir and the Lower Indian Creek Reservoir, which is secured by the Lower Indian Creek Reservoir Dam.

A network of seasonal waterways and local routes such as Corral Cr Rd and Gray Blanket Rd connects the ranch to the surrounding terrain. Notable natural landmarks like Fritzler Coulee and the evocatively named Moonshine Draw suggest a local history tied to the unique geography. Along the southern boundary, Commissary Springs provides a critical natural water source near the various branches of Indian Creek, illustrating the vital intersection of ranching infrastructure and natural hydrology in southeastern Montana.
