2014 Map of Bowler

About this map

Bowler and the surrounding Bowler Flats define this high-country landscape along the border of Carbon and Big Horn Counties. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, ranging from the prominent Black Butte to deep drainages like Water Canyon and Inferno Canyon. This 2014 survey documents the enduring markers of the local community, including the Bowler Cemetery and the historic Section House Draw, a name that hints at the area's former connection to railway maintenance. Much of the eastern portion of the map is occupied by the protected lands of the Custer National Forest. The map also details a network of backcountry routes such as Pryor Mountain Rd and Sage Creek Rd, which provide access through the Pryor Gap and along the seasonal course of Sage Creek.
