About this map

The Bighorn National Forest landscape across the Big Horn and Sheridan County line is defined by dramatic elevation changes and a dense network of watercourses and alpine trails. This portion of the Bighorn Mountains includes prominent high points such as Bald Mtn, Little Bald Mtn, and Duncum Mtn, which transition into the fertile drainage of the Little Bighorn Valley. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous creeks, including the Little Bighorn River, Bear Cr, and Half Ounce Cr.

For the modern explorer or backcountry historian, the map documents an extensive trail system connecting historical gulches and ridges. Routes like the Bucking Mule Falls Trl, Little Horn Trl, and Hudson Creek Trl provide access to remote areas like Beaver Creek Mesa and Rooster Hill. This survey captures the preserved wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the drainage patterns of the Little Horn River and Duncum Cr as they flow from the high peaks.
