2017 Map of Sheep Canyon

About this map

Sheep Mountain dominates the northeastern corner of this Big Horn County landscape, where the high ridges give way to the carved depths of Sheep Canyon. This arid region is defined by its drainage patterns, with the Bighorn River cutting through the far eastern edge and a network of seasonal draws and creeks marking the terrain. The presence of Sheep Mountain Springs near the canyon head suggests a vital water source in an otherwise dry environment. Historically used for grazing and transport, the area is crisscrossed by remote routes like Ribbon Canyon Rd and bordered by significant drainages including Lovell Draw and Little Dry Cr. The map illustrates a stark western landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range lines that have governed Wyoming land management for over a century.
