2011 Map of Bayhorse Lake

About this map

Bayhorse Lake and the smaller Little Bayhorse Lake anchor this high-elevation landscape in Custer County. The 2011 survey reveals a geography defined by access for recreation and livestock, with infrastructure like Mill Creek Campground, Bayhorse Campground, and the Cow Camp south of Trealor Creek. This is a terrain of named summits and deep drainages, where Summit Rock and Mill Creek Summit overlook the winding courses of Squaw Creek and Mill Creek. Local landmarks like Fannys Hole and the Buster Lake Dam on Garden Creek indicate a history of water management and specific place-naming. The presence of Willow Patch and the broad Juliette Basin suggest varied alpine environments used for both transit and seasonal work, connected by routes such as Mill Creek Rd and NF 045 Rd.
