1958 Map of Bull Creek Lookout

About this map

Bull Creek Lookout and the VABM Crazy Horse survey point overlook a complex drainage system in Big Horn County during the late 1950s. This landscape is defined by the convergence of the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Bull Creek, as well as the intricate headwaters of Muddy Creek. The presence of Brown Camp and the naming of Hardrobe Water Gap and Hardrobe Spring suggest localized cattle ranching or seasonal activity in a region where water sources were critical. Navigation is marked by intermittent water features like Muddy Lake and topographical landmarks such as Wild Hog Basin and the Big Bend. A network of simple jeep trails provides the only overland access through the branching creek systems of Horse Creek and Bear Creek, illustrating the territory's traditional ranching character before modern development.
