About this map

The Little Bighorn River flows through this corner of Big Horn County, defining the agricultural and settlement patterns of the region. The community of Wyola sits at the southern end of the sheet, where the Wyola Post Office and local thoroughfares like Little Horn Ave anchor the small town. Further north along the river valley, the settlement of Spear marks a distinct point of habitation in an otherwise expansive landscape of creek drainages and irrigation works.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by features such as the Crow Number 69 Dam and the Bozeman Trail Ditch. Numerous seasonal and perennial waterways, including White Man Runs Him Creek, Alligator Creek, and Crazy Creek, carve through the terrain, while Alligator Spring provides a notable natural water source. The presence of the Sloan Ditch further highlights the historical reliance on diverting river water to support local ranching and farming operations.
