About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 1993 survey, where mountain drainages and forest management infrastructure converge. At the intersection of the Medicine Wheel Passage and the North Tongue River, Burgess Junction serves as a central point for highland travel and forestry. The presence of the Burgess Work Center, a Heliport, and a Sewage Treatment Plant reflects the operational footprint of the Forest Service in managing these public lands.

Grazing and recreation appear throughout the terrain, evidenced by labels such as Cow Camp, P K Cow Camp, and the seasonally descriptive Bull Park. Geological and naming curiosities like the Garden of the Gods and Twin Buttes stand out against the network of small creeks, including Fool Creek and Willow Creek. The map also documents resource extraction and land navigation through the Gravel Pit near the junction and the established paths of the Fourteenth Standard Parallel North.
