About this map

The Bighorn River carves through this northern Wyoming landscape, defining a corridor of riparian flats and dramatic elevation changes. The settlement of Spence sits along the river's eastern bank, positioned where the terrain transitions toward the massive bulk of Sheep Mountain. This area is characterized by its resource-driven infrastructure, notably the Spence Oil Field Rd which snakes through the western portion of the quadrangle.

Water management and natural springs are central to this arid environment, marked by features such as Little Sheep Mountain Spring and the wide bend of Red Rim Meadows. To the south, Ribbon Canyon and Lovell Draw illustrate the erosive forces that have shaped the Big Horn Basin. The map also documents a network of local transport, including Ribbon Canyon Rd and Crystal Creek Rd, providing access to isolated landmarks like Perkins Bottom and Black Gulch.
