2015 Map of West Pass

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Sheridan County, where a complex network of drainages defines the mountain terrain. Significant water management features, including Dana Reservoir and several numbered reservoirs such as Kiewit-Herbs Creek Reservoir Number 2, indicate the importance of water storage in this arid environment. The topography is marked by named flats and basins, from the broad Taylor Flat in the northwest to the low-lying Kettle Basin and the distinct Red Gulch. Waterways like the Dry Fork Little Bighorn River and Elkhorn Cr carve through the land, while prominent landmarks like Riley Point and the namesake West Pass provide navigation points for those traversing the Bighorn National Forest. Local access is limited to unpaved routes such as Pass Creek Rd, reflecting the remote character of this part of northern Wyoming.
