1995 Map of Bandbox Mountain

About this map

Old Yogo Town (Site) sits at the heart of this mid-1990s survey, marking a historical footprint within the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The landscape is defined by its deep mining history, evidenced by a prominent strip mine and numerous scattered prospects found across the drainages of Yogo Creek and Sage Creek. The high-altitude terrain is anchored by massive formations like Bandbox Mountain and Tucken Mountain, with narrow watercourses such as Republican Gulch and Flat Gulch cutting through the slopes. This map documents a region where the legacy of extraction meets preserved forest land, showing the transition from early settlement sites to late-20th-century resource management. Detailed drainage patterns from Running Wolf Cr and the various forks of the local creek systems provide a clear view of the complex hydrology of the Judith Basin area.
