About this map

Skull Ridge and its surrounding high-country terrain define this 2012 survey of the Bighorn National Forest region. The landscape is marked by the complex drainage systems of the Tongue River, including the North Tongue River and South Tongue River, which flow through high-elevation flats like Sawmill Flat and Shutts Flats. Human activity in the area is centered on seasonal recreation and livestock management, evidenced by sites such as Yankee Cow Camp and Freeze Out Cow Camp.

Infrastructure for travelers and researchers is well-established near the waterways, featuring Arrowhead Lodge and Camp Bethal. Outdoor recreation is concentrated around the Sibley Lake Recreation Area and various sites along the water, including the South Tongue Campground and Prune Creek Campground. Significant landmarks like Freeze Out Point and the narrow Box Canyon offer a clear picture of the area's natural geography and historical water management via the Eureka Ditch.
