1964 Map of Burgess Junction

About this map

Bighorn National Forest contains a complex network of forest roads and remote seasonal outposts in this 1960s survey. The area is anchored by Burgess Junction, where several routes converge near the Burgess Ranger Station and a local heliport. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Tongue River and its various branches, including the North Tongue River and Little Willow Creek. Settlement patterns here reflect the region's ranching and recreational history, evidenced by Wolfe Cow Camp, P K Cow Camp, and the presence of both Bear Lodge and Twin Buttes Lodge.
