2017 Map of Skull Ridge

About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the landscape of this region, where the Tongue River and its numerous tributaries carve through complex terrain. The geography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Tongue River Canyon and Box Canyon. Water management and natural drainage patterns are evident through features like the Eureka Ditch and the concentration of creeks such as North Tongue River and South Tongue River that converge here. High-altitude clearings and landmarks, including Sawmill Flat, Shutts Flats, and Skull Ridge, provide a clear picture of the wilderness character of Sheridan County. Significant recreation and water resources like Sibley Lake are situated alongside Route 14, which serves as the primary corridor through these mountain reaches.
