About this map

Mexican Hill and the high ridges of the Bighorn National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Sheridan and Big Horn counties. The drainage network is complex, defined by the sharp descent of Bucking Mule Creek toward the notable Bucking Mule Falls. This area is characterized by steep elevation changes, with named summits like Sheep Mountain rising above the surrounding basins and coulees.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous named streams such as Railroad Springs Creek, Big Tepee Creek, and Little Tepee Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of Hannans Coulee and Cookstove Basin suggests a land shaped by the erosive forces of seasonal runoff and snowmelt. This survey provides an exact record of the federal forest lands and township boundaries that govern this part of northern Wyoming.
