About this map

Dead Indian Hill rises above a high-plains landscape defined by scattered ranching outposts and intermittent water sources. This 2012 survey captures a remote section of Big Horn County where seasonal livestock management is evident through features like Horseshoe Bedground and Wagon Hound Bedground. Human presence is marked primarily by small clusters of dwellings and shelter, including the McDonald Cabins, Stone Cabin, and Johnson Cabin, many situated along the seasonal drainage of Fifteenmile Cr.

The presence of numerous engineered water catchments such as Asays Reservoir, Hunt Reservoir, and School Section Reservoir highlights the necessity of water management in this arid environment. Transportation across the territory is limited, with the primary artery being Fenton Pass Rd on the eastern edge. These family-named landmarks and specific cabin locations provide critical spatial data for those researching the rural habitation patterns and land use of the region during the early 21st century.
