About this map

The high-elevation terrain of Bighorn National Forest dominates this study of the Sheridan and Big Horn county line. Centered on the massif of Bald Mtn and Little Bald Mtn, the landscape is defined by deep drainages and ridges, most notably the Little Bighorn Valley to the northeast. Historical access through this mountain pass is traced by Old US Hwy 14A, which winds across the plateau near Wyoming Gulch and Rooster Hill.

Water systems originate from these summits, with the headwaters of the Little Bighorn River, Duncum Cr, and Bear Cr carving distinct paths through the forest. The map records the network of forest roads, including Sheep Mountain Rd, which connect the various gulches and peaks like Duncum Mtn and Burnt Mtn. This area serves as a primary watershed for the surrounding basin, showing the complex topography before the terrain descends toward Dayton Gulch.
