2021 Map of Little Goose Peak

About this map

Bighorn National Forest serves as the backdrop for this high-country landscape along the Sheridan and Johnson county line. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations, from the summit of Little Goose Peak to the steep descent into Black Canyon. The presence of water-management features like Last Chance Ditch and Red Hill Ditch among the natural drainages of Little Goose Creek and North Piney Creek indicates the long-standing importance of high-altitude water rights and irrigation to the surrounding basins. A dense network of trails and tracks, including the Kenny Wood Trail and the Story Penrose Trail, traverses the timbered slopes. Notable landmarks like Bosin Rock and Red Grade Spring provide specific orientation points for those tracing the historical movement across this portion of the range.
