Bighorn National Forest dominates this landscape along the high-elevation boundary of Sheridan and Big Horn counties. The topography is defined by significant plateaus and drainage systems, most notably the towering Hunt Mountain and the expansive Horse Creek Mesa. A complex network of waterways, including the N Tongue River and Hidden Tepee Cr, carves through the terrain, creating distinct geographic markers like Torry Gulch and Red Canyon Cr. The inclusion of various water sources such as Whedon Spring, Wolf Springs, and Deep Spring indicates a landscape where water management and natural springs are critical focal points. High-altitude meadows and flats, including Long Park and Sunlight Mesa, provide a clear picture of the land use patterns and natural openings found within the forest during the early twenty-first century.
