About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the eastern half of this terrain, where the high desert plateau gives way to dramatic vertical relief. The landscape is carved by a network of drainage systems, including Tensleep Cr and Leigh Cr, which have formed prominent geographical landmarks such as Leigh Monument and the deep incision of Leigh Canyon. Water sources like Camp Stove Spring, Rice Spring, and Old Maid Spring indicate the critical role of groundwater in this arid Washakie County environment.

Transportation through the area follows the natural topography, with Hill Rd and WY-436 skirting the base of major elevations. To the south, Schoonover Flats and Sagebrush Flats provide broader, level reaches above the complex system of Old Maid Gulch and Black Canyon. These features illustrate the transition from open grazing lands to the steep limestone and sandstone formations characteristic of the western Bighorn range.
