2015 Map of Bush Butte

About this map

Medicine Lodge Big Game Winter Range anchors the southeastern portion of this Big Horn County landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by a complex network of canyons and seasonal drainages. The area is defined by massive natural landmarks like Bush Butte and the deep incisions of Trapper Canyon and Dry Medicine Lodge Canyon. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region primarily managed for wildlife and resource access, with transportation limited to established backcountry routes such as Black Mountain Rd and Red Gulch Rd. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are identified by named features like Sheep Springs, Myers Spring, and several creeks including White Cr and Trapper Cr. The mapping of Webber Canyon and Myers Spring Draw provides detailed topographic context for a region where natural drainage patterns dictate the movement of both people and wildlife.
