About this map

Wyola sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in this corner of Big Horn County. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, illustrated by the Fortymile Canal and numerous upland water storage sites including Halfway Reservoir, Liming Reservoir, and Chalk Butte Reservoir. These features suggest a landscape deeply tied to ranching or agricultural operations that rely on seasonal runoff and managed irrigation in an otherwise arid environment.

Prominent landforms like Chalk Butte rise above the drainage systems of Owl Cr and Halfway Cr, which carve through the township and range sections of T7S and T8S. The road network, including the Wyola Access Rd and CO Road 83 B, provides the essential connections between the valley floors and the higher rangelands. Small, remote water bodies such as Steinbilber Reservoir and Brown Reservoir are scattered across the quadrangle, marking the local efforts to capture water across the undulating Montana hills.
