Walk the land near Bighorn National Forest and look for markers, fences and trails, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them

On ground around Ten Sleep, older tracts in the county may trace back through a long string of deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
Limits of the parcel data
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a fence near Bighorn National Forest often sits several feet off the line on screen. For property near Mc Nutt, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
