2012 Map of Columbus Peak

About this map

Columbus Peak anchors this corner of Sheridan County, where the high-altitude hydrology of the Bighorn Mountains is managed through a complex network of man-made and natural watercourses. The landscape is defined by its water management history, evidenced by the Tschirgi Ditch Number 1 and Church Ditch, which redirect flow across the high plateaus. These engineering works parallel numerous mountain streams, including Twin Creek and the various forks of East Pass Creek, supporting the high-country reservoirs.
