About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Bighorn National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape along the border of Big Horn and Sheridan counties. Centered on the broad, treeless prominence of Bald Mountain, the geography is defined by the headwaters of several major drainages, including the Little Bighorn River and the Little Horn. The northern reaches are punctuated by dramatic landmarks like Bucking Mule Falls and the summits of Duncum Mtn and Burnt Mtn.

Modern access is provided by Alt 14, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet near Little Bald Mtn, following the contours between the Beaver Creek Mesa and the canyon of the Little Bighorn River. This 2017 survey details the complex network of mountain drainages such as Wyoming Gulch, Half Ounce Cr, and Gold Cr, illustrating how the physical topography has historically dictated the routes through this part of the Bighorn Mountains.
