About this map

Horse Butte dominates the central landscape of this Washakie County terrain, serving as a prominent landmark amidst a complex network of seasonal drainages and mountain roads. The geography is defined by the headwaters of the Little Canyon Creek system, including the N Fork Little Canyon Cr, Middle Fork Little Canyon Cr, and S Fork Little Canyon Cr. These waterways carve through the high country, eventually feeding the larger regional basins.

Remote access is maintained through a series of established routes such as Hazelton Rd and Barnum Mountain Rd, which trace the ridges and valleys. For those researching local geography, the map identifies specific water sources like Bear Spring and the curiously named Mulligan Hole. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the S Fork Red Fork Powder River, illustrating the rugged hydrography of the Bighorn Mountains' foothills.
