2018 Map of Bear Creek Ranch

About this map

Bighorn National Forest borders the northeastern corner of this Big Horn County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the foothills. The area is defined by its drainage systems, notably Dry Bear Cr and Bear Cr, which provide the lifeblood for isolated outposts like the Bear Creek Ranch. The presence of the Lampman Reservoir further emphasizes the importance of water management in this arid environment. Significant topographical landmarks, such as Black Butte and Eagle Rock, serve as natural waypoints across the township lines. The network of primitive routes, including Bear Creek Ranch Rd, illustrates how human activity and ranching operations are dictated by the rugged contours of Porter Gulch and the surrounding draws.
