About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates the western half of this landscape, where the dramatic terrain of Shell Canyon and Medicine Mountain transitions into the fertile eastern plains. The Tongue River and its numerous tributaries, including Goose Creek and Wolf Creek, carve through the foothills toward established settlements like Dayton and Ranchester. These communities serve as the gateway between the high wilderness and the industrial activity of the late 1970s, evidenced by the Burlington Northern railroad lines and active Strip Mines near Kleeburn.
