About this map

Crow Indian Reservation Boundary lines define the southwestern landscape of this Yellowstone County quadrangle, where the upland terrain gives way to a complex drainage network. The Crow Indian Reservation occupies much of the western portion of the sheet, characterized by the prominent elevation of Woody Mountain. This 1969 survey, photorevised in 1980, details the seasonal and perennial waterways that carved this high-plains environment.

Water sources such as East Fork Pryor Creek and Alkali Creek serve as the primary geographical anchors, while smaller features like Lone Tree Coulee and Broken Leg Creek reflect the nomenclature of the era. The mapping of Telegraph Creek and Indian Creek in the northeast quadrant highlights the natural corridors through which early travel and communication lines once moved across the Montana landscape.
