The project area covers 7,882,359 ac (3,189,891 ha) and includes portions of Prairie, Custer, Rosebud, Fallon, Carter, Big Horn, and Powder River counties (Table 1). Major towns in the project area include Ashland, Broadus, Baker, and Ekalaka. Most of the study area is privately owned, although lands owned by the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service make up large portions of the area. The Crow and Northern Cheyenne Reservations cover portions of the eastern edge of the study area (Figure 2). Southeastern Montana consists of extensive rangelands, and livestock grazing has been the predominant land use for well over a century. About half of the study area occurs within the Powder River Basin (PRB), which extends south into Wyoming (Figure 3). The PRB contains the single largest source of coal mined in the United States (Engle et al. 2012). 2.
