About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate this high-country landscape in Big Horn County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and sharp ridges. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably around Shortys Hill and the deep incision of Cook Stove Canyon to the south. This area is shaped by a remote road network that follows the natural contours of the land, including Grey Blanket Rd and Corral Cr Rd, which serve the expansive ranchlands and wilderness sectors.

Water distribution is a primary feature of this Montana territory, with numerous creeks such as Grey Blanket Creek, Cache Creek, and the North Fork Indian Creek carving through the mountain slopes. These waterways, including Sioux Pass Creek in the southwest corner, historically dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of early travel routes through the passes of the eastern Montana highlands.
