About this map

Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, where the dramatic descent into Bighorn Canyon is marked by the heights of Dead Indian Hill. The map provides a rare look at a remote borderland between Carbon and Big Horn Counties, defined by seasonal watercourses like Dry Head Cr and Templeton Cr.

For those interested in local history, the presence of the Annerer Spring Grave near Annerer Spring offers a poignant piece of genealogical data in an otherwise sparsely settled region. The transportation network is composed of rugged routes such as Bad Pass Rd, Big Horn Canyon Rd, and the S Pasture Trail, reflecting the land's use for ranching and recreation in the early twenty-first century. Further south, Petes Canyon and Wossin Canyon illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the larger canyon system.
