2011 Map of Bison Canyon

Transportation and recreation are anchored by the corridor of Bison Creek, where several forest camps such as Shamrock Campground and the Elk Park Campground provide access to the backcountry. The landscape is further distinguished by its naming of specific mountain meadows, such as Berrys Meadows and Dunks Meadow, suggesting a history of seasonal grazing or early homesteading. From the headwaters of the Little Boulder River to the open flats of Elk Park, this map captures a transition from industrial exploitation to modern forest management.
