2021 Map of Simmons Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Simmons Canyon and the surrounding high-desert plateaus of Big Horn County define this landscape, where seasonal drainages and remote springs provided essential water for range life. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Little Mtn, which is deeply incised by Pete's Canyon and Vopats Canyon. These geological features, alongside Devil Canyon in the northwest, illustrate the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the Bighorn Basin's eastern margins. Evidence of ranching and water management appears through landmarks like Dipping Vat Springs and the High Ditch, which trace the efforts to utilize scarce water resources in an arid environment. Named springs such as Godes Springs, Richs Spring, and East Trough Spring are scattered throughout the draws, serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the transition from Dugan Bench to the higher elevations of Winter Hill.
