About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of several key drainages converge near the boundary of Big Horn and Sheridan Counties. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including the N Tongue River in the south and the Little Bighorn Valley in the northwest. The drainage patterns of Fishhook Cr and Hideout Cr illustrate the complex watershed that feeds into larger regional river systems.

Navigating this backcountry relies on a network of established paths rather than modern roads. The Bull Elk Park Trl and Lake Creek Divide Trl provide historical transit corridors through the forest, while geographic features like Dayton Gulch and Garland Gulch serve as permanent landmarks for those tracking the movement of early forest rangers or hunters. This 2021 study documents the preserved wilderness state of the Wyoming high country.
