2012 Map of Shell Falls

About this map

Shell Falls and its dramatic drop along Shell Creek form the centerpiece of this Big Horn County landscape. The 2012 topography shows a region defined by recreational access and stark geological landmarks, including the high prominence of Copmans Tomb and the broad elevation of Bald Ridge. Recreational hubs are well-documented, from the Bighorn Ski Area in the northeast to a series of forest service sites like Granite Creek Campground and Cabin Creek Campground. A network of drainage systems, including Brindle Creek and White Creek, carve through the terrain, while routes like Ranger Creek Rd and Battle Creek Rd provide passage through Snowshoe Pass and across the high-altitude terrain of Snowshoe Mountain.
