About this map

The settlement of Beckton and the surrounding foothills of the Big Horn Mountains define this landscape in the early 1990s. This territory is heavily shaped by the management of water resources, most notably at the Sheridan Filtration Plant and a nearby Gaging Sta along the drainages of Big Goose Creek. A Historical Marker near the northern boundary suggests the area's significance beyond its modern utility, while the rugged transition from valley floor to forest is marked by family-named terrain like Walker Prairie and She-Bear Mountain.

Within the Bighorn National Forest, the map reveals a network of primitive routes including the Tepee Trail and Bear Gulch Trail. These paths, alongside the numerous forks of Little Goose Creek and Rapid Creek, illustrate the persistent intersection of conservation and recreation. The proximity of Beckton to these canyon mouths highlights its role as a gateway between the agricultural basins and the protected high country.
