2021 Map of Bull Elk Park

About this map

Bighorn National Forest contains a complex network of high-elevation drainages and ridges centered on the Little Bighorn River. This topographic landscape is defined by the confluence of the W Fork Little Bighorn River and the Dry Fork Little Bighorn River, carving deep paths through the Little Bighorn Valley. The terrain rises from the valley floor to prominent heights like Fisher Mtn and Leaky Mtn, while flatlands such as Taylor Flat and Deer Park offer breaks in the verticality. A detailed system of historic trails, including the Little Horn Trl and Boyd Ridge Trl, suggests a legacy of recreational and administrative access through the backcountry. Near the southern boundary, Bull Elk Park serves as a focal point for the headwaters of Bear Trap Cr and Ice Creek, illustrating the remote wilderness character of Sheridan County's mountain interior.
