2024 Map of Red Springs

About this map

Big Horn County terrain dominates this 2024 landscape, where the high-elevation drainage systems of the Bighorn Mountains carve deep canyons through Montana and into Wyoming. The namesake Red Springs area sits amidst a complex network of ridges, including Telephone Ridge and Tepee Pole Ridge, which separate the various forks of Rotten Grass Creek and Lodge Grass Creek. These watercourses create a distinct topographic pattern of steep-walled canyons such as Black Canyon and Lodge Grass Canyon. The map is particularly useful for tracking localized water sources like Tepee Spring and Paint Springs, which have long served as vital points in this arid, high-country environment. The presence of varied landmarks like Buck Ridge and Limestone Canyon highlights the geological diversity of the Crow Indian Reservation borderlands during the early 21st century.
