About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this landscape on the border of Johnson County, where complex water management infrastructure meets steep Wyoming terrain. Irrigation efforts are evident in the Tongue River Buffalo Ditch, Crow Ditch, and Mowry Basin Ditch, which redirect high-elevation snowmelt. The eastern slopes descend toward the Bud Love Big Game Winter Range, a significant conservation area established to protect wildlife habitat.

Lower elevations feature the H F Bar Ranch and a Gaging Station along Rock Creek, marking the intersection of private agricultural land and public forest. The dramatic relief of Stone Mountain and The Speedway creates a backdrop for numerous drainage systems, including Red Canyon Creek and Sayles Creek. These watercourses, such as North Rock Creek and Middle Rock Creek, define the local topography and historical land use patterns for ranching and forest management.
