2021 Map of Black Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Bighorn Mountains descend into complex canyons and mesas. The map reveals a land defined by water management and transit through steep terrain, highlighted by the presence of Kershner Ditch and Hatton Ditch winding along the lower elevations. Distinctive geological landmarks like Elephant Head Rock and Chimney Rock serve as natural beacons for navigation. The drainages of Shell Cr and White Cr have carved deep incisions such as Trapper Canyon, creating a vertical world where travel is largely restricted to established paths like the Beef Trl and Shell Bench Trl. This survey captures the rugged Wyoming backcountry as it remained in the early 21st century, a territory of public lands and scattered ranching infrastructure.
