2015 Map of Sheep Canyon

About this map

Sheep Mtn dominates the northeastern corner of this Big Horn County landscape, where the high ground gives way to the deep cut of Sheep Canyon. This 2015 survey illustrates a drainage system defined by intermittent watercourses like Lovell Draw and Little Dry Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the Bighorn River at the far eastern edge. A critical water source in this arid environment is found at Sheep Mountain Springs, located just below the mountain's crest. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by the path of Ribbon Canyon Rd and the straight-line section boundaries of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the persistent geography of the Wyoming basin, where topographical features such as Dry Cr remain the primary landmarks in a largely undeveloped territory.
