2017 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro sits at the northern end of this reach, where the Bighorn River carves deeply through the landscape of Carbon and Big Horn Counties. This survey documents the complex topography within the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, showing a terrain defined by dramatic breaks like Devil Canyon and Booz Canyon. The hydrology is particularly prominent, featuring the winding course of Bighorn Lake and several seasonal drainages such as Porcupine Creek and Twentymile Creek. Notable landmarks like the Natural Corrals and Barrys Island are mapped alongside local access routes including Dryhead Road and Hillsboro Road. The map also captures the East Reservoir and the Garvin Basin, illustrating a high-desert environment managed for both conservation and recreation in the early twenty-first century.
