2012 Map of Boyd Ridge

About this map

Crater Ridge forms the topographic heart of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Bighorn Mountains dictate the layout of the land. The network of seasonal and perennial streams, including the north-flowing Lodge Grass Cr and the eastern-reaching Pumpkin Cr and Cub Cr, suggests a rugged environment shaped by water action and snowmelt. Human activity is confined primarily to primitive transport corridors like Marble Quarry Rd and Sheep Mountain Rd, which provide access to this remote terrain. Localized water sources such as Red Spring and Crater Spring offer critical landmarks in a region defined more by its natural hydrography, including Wagon Box Cr and Mann Cr, than by permanent settlement.
