About this map

The Medicine Lodge Big Game Winter Range and the western edge of the Bighorn National Forest dominate this landscape in Big Horn County. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, particularly around Bear Mtn and the deep cuts of Medicine Lodge Canyon. This area is characterized by its complex drainage network, where Medicine Lodge Cr and Paint Rock Cr carve through the high country.

A network of remote access routes and footpaths, including the Cold Springs Rd and the Paint Rock Canyon Trl, provides the primary means of navigating the drainages and ridges. Notable landforms like Allen Draw and the distinctively named The Island indicate a terrain where water and wind have shaped a series of isolated benches and deep gulches. This survey documents a wilderness environment primarily managed for wildlife habitat and natural resource preservation.
