1969 Map of Bear Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Windy Point Lookout stands at a high vantage point overlooking the complex drainage systems of the Bighorn National Forest in the late 1960s. This survey records the remote high-country landscape where the Montana-Wyoming border intersects with the Crow Indian Reservation Boundary. The terrain is defined by prominent landforms such as Big Bull Elk Ridge and Telephone Ridge, which separate deep incisions like Black Canyon. Sparse human imprints are limited to a few specific markers of backcountry presence, such as Black Cabin, while the hydrology is characterized by numerous small mountain water sources including Indian Springs, Spruce Spring, and Bear Springs. The convergence of these watercourses into Willow Creek and North Fork Trout Creek reflects the natural drainage patterns of this high-elevation wilderness before more modern development.
