2011 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Bighorn Lake dominates the central corridor of this survey, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainages along the Montana-Wyoming border. The settlement of Hillsboro sits west of the water, connected by Barry's Landing Rd to the recreational facilities at Barrys Landing and the Barrys Landing Campground. This area is part of the Bighorn Canyon Natl Rec Area, where the rugged topography includes distinct features like Barrys Island and the complex drainages of North Fork Trail Creek and South Fork Trail Creek. To the east, the terrain rises toward Garvin Basin and the high plains, where isolated outposts like Cow Camp and geological curiosities such as the Natural Corrals and Devils Playground suggest a history of ranching and exploration in this remote borderland.
