2017 Map of Simmons Canyon

About this map

Little Mtn rises above a complex network of drainages and seasonal water sources in this northern Wyoming landscape. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Simmons Canyon, Petes Canyon, and the dramatic Devil Canyon to the east. These physical features dictated the historical movement and land use in the region, evidenced by the scattered development of water resources such as Dipping Vat Springs and Oasis Spring. The presence of the High Ditch in the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the importance of water management and irrigation in this high-elevation environment. Other prominent landmarks including Winter Hill and Dugan Bench provide significant navigational points for those tracing historical land patents or topographical shifts in Big Horn County.
