About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this section of the Bighorn Mountains in Johnson County, where a complex network of drainage basins defines the high-altitude landscape. The northern reaches of the N Fork Crazy Woman Cr and its tributaries, including Little N Fork Crazy Woman Cr and Muddy Cr, carve through the terrain. The presence of Willow Marsh and East Long Park Spring Number 2 highlights the vital water sources that have sustained land use in this region for generations.

Remote access is marked by historical thoroughfares like the Hazelton Rd and the Hesse Creek Cutoff, which traverse the western slopes. These routes, alongside labels for Billy Creek Spring and Caribou Cr, provide essential geographic markers for those studying the seasonal livestock movements and early resource management within the national forest boundaries during the early twenty-first century.
