The Bighorn Basin is a plateau region and intermontane basin, approximately 100 miles (160 km) wide, in north-central Wyoming in the United States. It is bounded by the Absaroka Range on the west, the Pryor Mountains on the north, the Bighorn Mountains on the east, and the Owl Creek Mountains and Bridger Mountains on the south. It is drained to the north by tributaries of the Bighorn River, which enters the basin from the south, through a gap between the Owl Creek and Bridger Mountains, as the Wind River, and becomes the Bighorn as it enters the basin. The region is semi-arid, receiving only 6–10 in (15–25 cm) of rain annually.

  • Bighornská pánev (anglicky Bighorn Basin) je mezihorská pánev v severní části Wyomingu, ve Spojených státech amerických. Má šířku okolo 160 km a délku až 250 km.Rozkládá se mezi pohořími Absaroka Range na západě (dále na západě pak leží Yellowstonský národní park) a pohořím Bighorn Mountains na východě. (cs)
  • ビッグホーン盆地（Bighorn Basin）は、アメリカ合衆国ワイオミング州の北部から中部にかけ、約160km（100マイル）広がる盆地。 西にアブサロカ山脈、東に、南にとブリッジャー山地が位置している。盆地南側の、オウルクリーク山地とブリッジャー山地の谷間からウィンド川が流入しており、盆地に入るとビッグホーン川になる。気候は全域が半不毛で、例年150 - 250mm 程度しか降水がない。 1807年には、がこの地を探検した。その後、1864年にオレゴン・トレイルをモンタナ州から南へ接続するため、ジム・ブリッジャーらによりブリッジャー・トレイルが造られた。そのルートはボーズマン・トレイルに代わる重要なもので、当時のスー族居住地パウダーリバー・カントリーを通っていたが、レッドクラウド戦争の後に開拓移民によって封鎖された。 盆地内は、パウエル、ワーランド、サーモポリスなどの町があるほか、気候を利用したかんがい農業によるテンサイ栽培が行われている。 (ja)

  • Das Bighorn Basin ist eine Hochebene und ein intermontanes Becken im zentralen Norden des US-Bundesstaates Wyoming mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 160 km. Es grenzt im Westen an die Absaroka Range, im Norden an die Pryor Mountains, im Osten an die Bighorn Mountains und im Süden an die Owl Creek Mountains und die Bridger Mountains. Es wird nach Norden durch Zuflüsse des Bighorn River entwässert, der als Wind River von Süden her in das Becken einmündet, und zum Bighorn River wird, wenn er in das Becken eindringt. Die Region ist halbtrocken und erhält jährlich nur 15–25 cm Regen. (de)

È delimitato dalla catena dei monti a ovest, dalle Bighorn Mountains a est, dalle e dalle a sud. Il bacino è drenato a nord dagli affluenti del , che entra nel bacino da sud attraverso un valico tra le Owl Creek Mountains e le Bridger Mountains, e cambia nome in Bighorn River appena entrato nel bacino. La regione è semiarida e riceve solo 15–25 cm di pioggia all'anno. (it)
