About this map

Big Horn National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where drainage systems for the North Fork Crazy Woman Creek and Muddy Creek converge. The 1967 topography reveals a working forest infrastructure, featuring the Muddy Creek Guard Station and the State Highway Maintenance Camp located along the modern road corridor. Local industry and education are represented by the Hanson Sawmill and the Caribou Sch, serving the dispersed population and seasonal camps of this high-elevation region.

Outdoor recreation and ranching are integral to the area's character, with the Crazy Woman Campground and Canyon Campground positioned near the water forks. Working camps like the Muddy Creek Cow Camp and E-La-Ka-We Camp highlight the seasonal use of these lands. Transportation is primarily facilitated by the Hazelton Road and various rugged paths, including a Jeep Trail that navigates the terrain between Elgin Park and the deep creek valleys.
