About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this section of the Bighorn Mountains where the county line separates Sheridan and Johnson counties. The landscape is defined by the steep descent of the eastern front, where watercourses like Little Goose Cr and Stockwell Cr cut through the high country. Historically significant water management is evident in the presence of the Last Chance Ditch and Red Hill Ditch, which redirect flow from the mountain drainages toward the foothills.

The area serves as a rugged recreational and resource corridor, accessed via Red Grade Rd and Blacktooth Rd. Points of interest for local historians include named geographic landmarks like Bosin Rock and Poverty Flat, alongside high-elevation clearings such as Kinney Wood Park and Penrose Park. The topographic detail follows the complex drainage patterns of the W Fork Little Goose Cr and S Piney Cr, illustrating the transition from the high peaks of Little Goose Peak down to the canyon floors.
