Calving: when the baby cows, aka calves, are born.
Coyote: this is a fierce dog or wolf like creature, it likes to kill and eat newborn calves and deer and that sort of stuff. Note: the name is pronounced "Ky-oat", NOT "Ky-oat-ee"
Draw: this is like a miniature canyon, only it's in dirt and the sides aren't (usually) so steep.
Palisade: defensive wall.
River Bottom: area where the river can meander. Here it has steep dirt banks, or short 'cliffs' if you will, on the edges of it. It is full of cottonwood trees.
