2014 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro and the surrounding borderlands of Montana and Wyoming are defined by the dramatic incision of the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The landscape is a complex network of deep drainages and named formations, where Bighorn Lake winds through steep walls between Barrys Island and Booz Canyon. The terrain reflects a raw geological character, with evocative place names such as Devils Playground, Garvin Basin, and the Natural Corrals marking the high ground above the water. Transport in this isolated area is limited to rugged routes like Barry's Landing Rd, which provides access to the canyon rim. The map also traces the winding course of significant tributaries, including Porcupine Cr, Bobcat Cr, and Twentymile Cr, which have carved their own paths toward the central Bighorn system.
