2021 Map of Boyd Ridge

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this section of the high country along the border of Big Horn County and Sheridan County. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent elevated formations, including Boyd Ridge, Crater Ridge, and Horse Ridge. The network of drainage systems is complex, with numerous seasonal and perennial water sources such as Wagon Box Creek, Lodge Grass Creek, and Bucking Mule Creek carving through the terrain. Human presence is represented primarily by historical pathways and backcountry routes, notably the Lodge Grass Trail and the Pumpkin Creek Trail. These trails provide access to secluded water points like Red Spring and Crater Spring, reflecting the area's utility for livestock or mountain passage. The lack of permanent structures emphasizes the preserved wilderness character of the Lodge Grass Canyon vicinity during this era.
