About this map

Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this landscape, where the confluence of the Shoshone River and the Bighorn River feeds into the expansive Bighorn Lake. The settlement of Kane sits near the northern reaches of the lake, positioned at a critical junction of waterways and local routes such as Road 20. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Katys Nipple and the heights of Little Sheep Mtn.

Agricultural and water management infrastructure is evident through the winding paths of the Sunlight Canal and Lovell Canal, which draw from the river systems to support the arid surrounding basins. To the east, the landscape transitions into a network of drainages like Cottonwood Cr and Five Springs Cr, with upland water sources including Roundup Spring and Harmon Springs. Remote access is provided by primitive routes such as John Blue Canyon Rd and Crystal Creek Rd, tracing the complex topography of Big Horn County.
