1993 Map of Boyd Ridge

About this map

Bighorn National Forest provides the backdrop for this high-altitude survey of the border between Sheridan and Big Horn Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Boyd Ridge and Crater Ridge, where industrial activity is marked by the presence of a Marble Quarry and its dedicated Marble Quarry Road. This area is a network of resources for seasonal livestock operations, featuring a Cow Camp, numerous stock tanks, and a designated Stock Trail winding through the drainages of Lodge Grass Creek and Wagon Box Creek. The inclusion of a lone Cem (cemetery) near Pumpkin Creek and several unnamed cabins points to the scattered, specialized settlement patterns of the high range. Infrastructure is minimal, limited to rugged paths like Sheep Mountain Road, illustrating the utilitarian nature of the territory during this era of forest management.
