1967 Map of Big Park

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Tunp Range and Middle Ridge dominate this section of western Wyoming, where high-altitude meadows and dense drainage networks define the terrain. In the late 1960s, this area remained largely remote, anchored by the Kelley Guard Sta and the northern reaches of the Bridger National Forest. The map documents a rugged landscape utilized for both forestry and early exploration, evidenced by scattered prospects near Ferney Gulch and a lonely grave located south of Button Flat. Water management and natural flow are central to the region, with the Smiths Fork and Hams Fork serving as primary arteries. High mountain clearings like Big Park and Jap Park suggest seasonal grazing or traditional high-country usage patterns, while a network of named hollows including Preacher Hollow and Bloom Hollow provide a localized sense of place within the complex topography of Lincoln County.
