About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape within the Crow Indian Reservation, as documented by fieldwork in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, most notably Reno Creek and its various branches, including the North Fork Reno Creek and South Fork Reno Creek. This region is sparsely settled, with the map focusing on the natural topography and the numerous Springs that sustain the local watershed.

Evidence of ranching or livestock management appears through the naming of Dipping Vat Creek in the north, while the higher elevations of the mountains give way to the headwaters of Little Thompson Creek and Thompson Creek. Travel through this high-country environment is limited to a network of 4WD Trails, which follow the ridgelines and valley floors between landmarks like Blue Creek and the Middle Fork Davis Creek.
