About this map

Bailey Mountain and the surrounding high country of Powell County are defined by a complex network of drainages and prominent peaks as they appeared in the late 1980s. The landscape is carved by deep gulches and canyons, including Buckskin Gulch and Lost Canyon, which feed into major watercourses like Cottonwood Creek. A notable point of human infrastructure in this wilderness is the Radio Facility located near the summit of Little Baldy.

Water is a central element of this terrain, with MacIver Lake serving as a significant landmark along the Hoover Creek drainage. The map details numerous smaller tributaries such as Elk Swamp Creek and Fourth of July Creek, illustrating the natural watershed patterns of the region. From the elevations of North Chimney Peak to the lower reaches of Tewksbury Gulch, the sheet provides a precise look at the land's contours before further modern development.
