About this map

Hanson Sawmill stands at the northern reaches of this Johnson County landscape, where the drainages of Sourdough Creek and Rabbit Creek carve through the terrain. This 2012 survey illustrates a region defined by its seasonal watercourses and remote outposts, including the Muddy Creek Cow Camp and E-la-ka-wee Camp. The network of forestry and access roads like Sourdough Road and Pole Creek Road connects these isolated sites to more established points like the State Highway Maintenance Camp.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the winding path of North Fork Crazy Woman Creek and its many tributaries. Recreational infrastructure is prominent here, with Crazy Woman Campground, Canyon Campground, and Lost Cabin Campground situated along the canyon and creek beds. This map provides an essential record for researchers tracing the historical grazing camps and resource extraction sites, such as the Muddy Creek Cabin, that have long characterized this part of the Bighorn Mountains foothills.
