About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in northern Wyoming, where the headwaters of numerous creeks are managed through a complex system of ditches and reservoirs. The area serves as a vital watershed, documented here through a network of water-control features including the Peralta Ditch, the Big Goose and Beaver Ditch, and the specifically numbered Colorado Colony Ditch Company Reservoir Number 2. These structures reflect the region's long-standing reliance on irrigation and water storage to support lower-elevation agriculture and municipal needs.

The terrain is marked by distinctive granite outcrops and open meadows such as Lamburger Rock, Finger Rock, and Square Park. Travel through this portion of the forest is anchored by the winding Red Grade Rd, which provides access to secluded high-country water bodies like Duncan Lake and Hansen Reservoir Number 3. The map captures the meeting of Sheridan and Johnson counties within the protected forest boundaries.
