2017 Map of Bush Butte

About this map

Bush Butte dominates the northwestern terrain of this Big Horn County landscape, where deep drainages like Trapper Canyon and Webber Canyon carve through the high country. In the southern reaches, the Medicine Lodge Big Game Winter Range indicates a managed wilderness area where Dry Medicine Lodge Cr winds through Dry Medicine Lodge Canyon. The map reveals a land defined by its water sources, from Sheep Springs to Myers Spring, which likely served as critical points for cattle and wildlife in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks such as Black Mountain Rd and Red Gulch Rd, reflecting a period of land use focused on resource management and habitat preservation rather than dense settlement.
