2014 Map of Wild Horse Pass

About this map

Wild Horse Pass serves as a prominent geographic landmark in this portion of Rosebud County, where the high-plains terrain is carved by a network of seasonal drainages. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Louie and Scottie Cr and the northward-reaching fingers of Sand Cr. Further east, the topography transitions toward Kenney Coulee and E Fork Horse Cr. This 2014 survey documents the remote character of the region, emphasizing the natural drainage patterns and the Public Land Survey System grids of t10n r42e and t9n r42e that organized this part of Montana for ranching and land management. The absence of major settlements highlights the enduring isolation of this rural territory.
