About this map

Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain transitions into a complex network of drainage basins. The area is defined by a series of distinct watercourses, including the various branches of Buster Creek—W Fork Buster Cr, Middle Fork Buster Cr, and E Fork Buster Cr—which carve through the high ground. To the west, Little Mtn stands as a prominent elevation, overlooking several smaller drainages like Scott Cr and Pitchfork Cr. This map documents a largely unsettled portion of Big Horn County, emphasizing the natural hydrography and public land boundaries. The intricate contour lines illustrate the steep relief associated with Horse Coulee and Hoodoo Cr, providing a precise record of the landforms within this protected national recreation corridor.
