The reservation encompasses approximately 2,300,000 acres, which includes the northern end of the [[Bighorn Mountains]], [[Wolf Mountains]], and [[Pryor Mountains]]. The [[Bighorn River]] flows north from the Montana-Wyoming state line, journeying north to the [[Little Bighorn River]] just outside [[Hardin, Montana]]. Part of the reservation boundary runs along the ridgeline separating Pryor Creek and the Yellowstone River. The city of [[Billings, Montana|Billings]] is approximately 10 miles northwest of this reservation boundary.
