2014 Map of Bear Canyon

About this map

Custer National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Carbon County, Montana, and Park County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, characterized by Bear Canyon and the deep incision of Petroglyph Canyon. Water management is evident in the south at the Frannie Canal, while natural drainage follows the paths of Piney Cr and Bear Cr. Industrial and transit activity is marked by a Quarry and a network of forest routes, including Stockman Trl, Helt Rd, and Bear Canyon Rd. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of public land management and natural geomorphology, such as Cottonwood Coulee, in a region where the high desert meets mountain foothills.
