The Wolf Mountains, el. 4,842 feet (1,476 m),[1] sometimes referred to by local people as the Rosebud Mountains, and also known to the Crow Native Americans as the Wolf Teeth Mountains,[2] are a mountain range east of Lodge Grass, Montana in Big Horn County, Montana.
The mountain chain is in the southeastern portion of Big Horn County in Montana, and also is on the southeastern border of the Crow Indian Reservations.
The mountains lie on a north–south axis. The mountain range rises just south of the Reno Creek (aka Sundance Creek) and Davis Creek divide which flow respectively into the Little Bighorn River on the west and Rosebud Creek to the east, and extends south for about 35 miles to the Montana/Wyoming border area. The northern half of the range has creeks draining into Rosebud Creek on the east, and creeks draining into the Little Bighorn River to the west. The southern half of the range has creeks running into Pass Creek on the west (a tributary of the Little Bighorn River), and creeks running into the Tongue River on the east.
