2017 Map of Dead Indian Hill

About this map

Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area dominates the eastern half of this survey, where the Bighorn River carves a deep path through the Montana landscape. This territory, spanning the border between Carbon and Big Horn counties, reflects a transition from high plateau terrain to the river's winding corridor. A notable point of genealogical and local historical interest is the Annerer Spring Grave, located near Annerer Spring and just west of the canyon rim. Transport through this often difficult terrain is facilitated by Bad Pass Rd and Dryhead Road, which follow natural routes past features like Petes Canyon and Wassin Canyon. The map identifies various springs and cattle-related locations such as Lockhart Ranch and South Pasture, highlighting the area's continued use for ranching alongside its protected federal status.
