About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this portion of Yellowstone County, shaping a landscape defined by prominent flats and deeply etched coulees. The small settlement of Waco sits near the river's south bank, positioned between the water and the transportation corridor defined by Custer Frontage Rd. North of the river, Sevenmile Flat provides a broad, level expanse above the valley floor, while to the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward Pine Ridge.

Drainage patterns are clearly visible through numerous named seasonal and perennial streams, including Hibbard Cr, Automatic Cr, and Reed Cr. The map captures the meeting of the Yellowstone Co and Big Horn Co line in the southern reaches, where the land transitions into a series of named draws such as Sawmill Coulee and Bergum Coulee. This survey illustrates the relationship between the river valley's infrastructure and the higher, broken rangeland beyond.
