1960 Map of Black Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Bighorn National Forest serves as the backdrop for this 1960s study of the steep canyons and high mesas of Big Horn County. The topographic survey highlights the specific corridors of Shell Creek and Trapper Creek, where narrow valleys allowed for limited ranching and institutional use. Of particular note for local history is the Iowa State Univ Geology Camp, situated near the confluence of several gulches. The drainage network is complex, featuring prominent landforms such as Sunlight Mesa and the distinctive Elephant Head Rock.
