About this map

The town of Dayton and the edges of the Bighorn National Forest anchor this 2021 study of northern Wyoming's dramatic transition from basin to mountains. The map tracks the winding course of the Tongue River as it emerges from Tongue Canyon and flows past agricultural developments like the S Side Ditch and Frisbie Ditch. Notable landmarks outside the town center include the Dayton Cem and the Xingu Airstrip.

High-altitude features define the southwestern portion of the sheet, where specialized terrain labels indicate the unique geology of the area. Researchers will find Fallen City nestled near Hendrick Ridge, alongside distinctive formations such as Steamboat Point, Horseshoe Mtn, and Elephant Foot. This modern record preserves the contemporary trail system, including the Tongue River Canyon Trl and Roosevelt Trl, which navigate the deep draws and gulches of the Bighorn range.
