1960 Map of Bald Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Bald Mountain City (Site) serves as a poignant marker of late 19th-century gold prospecting within the high-elevation terrain of Bighorn National Forest. Located along the border of Big Horn and Sheridan counties, this area features a landscape defined by significant peaks including Duncum Mountain, Burnt Mountain, and Bald Mountain. The presence of the Medicine Wheel Ranger Sta near the Sheep Mountain Road indicates the administrative and conservation efforts managed by the Forest Service during the mid-20th century. Water systems are dominated by the Little Bighorn River and its numerous tributaries such as Half Ounce Creek and Porcupine Creek, which cut through the mountain passes. The map preserves the exact location of historical mining camps and early mountain access routes that predated modern recreational development in this part of the Bighorn Mountains.
