2017 Map of Hidden Tepee Creek

About this map

Bighorn National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Sheridan and Big Horn counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms like Horse Creek Mesa and Sunlight Mesa, where seasonal drainages such as Hidden Tepee Creek and the N Tongue River have carved deep into the northern Wyoming wilderness. The 2017 survey reveals a network of vital water sources in an arid environment, including Whedon Spring, Wolf Springs, and Deer Spring. To the south, Long Park and Tall Tree Vista suggest more open vantage points, while the confluence of Cottonwood Creek and the E Fork Horse Cr illustrates the complex hydrologic pattern of the Bighorn range before these waters reach the lower valleys.
