About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Wheatland and Judith Basin counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and dramatic geological features, including the Antelope Gorge in the north and Elephant Rock to the east. Several named springs, such as Sixshooter Spring, Clarks Desert Spring, and Morrissey Coulee Spring, indicate the vital water sources necessary for livestock or homesteading in this environment.

Deeply incised coulees like Clarks Fork Morrisy Coulee and Iron Springs Coulee cut through the foothills, leading toward more constricted passages such as Haymaker Narrows and the Morrisey Coulee Narrows. High points like Bartleson Peak provide overlook positions above the various forks of the local creek systems, including W Fork Hopley Cr and E Fork Haymaker Cr. This map illustrates the intersection of public forest lands and the rural water-management features critical to the region.
