About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this landscape in Johnson County, Wyoming, as it appeared in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Crazy Woman Creek and its North Fork, which converge near Canyon Campground. The human footprint here is largely tied to livestock and forestry, with sites like the Muddy Creek Cow Camp, Hanson Sawmill, and the Muddy Creek Guard Station indicating a working wilderness.

Educational and recreational infrastructure is present at the Caribou Sch and E-La-Ka-Wee Camp, while travel through the area relied on the Hazelton Road and various jeep trails. High-elevation clearings such as Elgin Park and East Long Park Spring No 2 provide localized landmarks within the timbered slopes. The map also records early highway operations at the State Highway Maintenance Camp situated along the winding roads that follow the creek valleys.
