2017 Map of Ice Creek

About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the character of this 2017 study, covering a landscape of high divides and deep drainages along the border of Sheridan and Big Horn Counties. The terrain is marked by the Lake Creek Divide and open meadows such as Bull Elk Park, which punctuate the dense forest cover. A complex network of watercourses, including Ice Creek, N Tongue River, and Bear-Trap Cr, has carved significant geographic features like Dayton Gulch and Garland Gulch. To the northwest, the land drops away into the Little Bighorn Valley. This map provides a precise view of the hydrology and topography of the high country before it descends into the surrounding basins, capturing the placement of modern forest service roads and wilderness boundaries.
