1966 Map of Cottonwood Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this Wyoming survey, where the dramatic elevation change is marked by Melody Falls and the steep descent into Cottonwood Creek Canyon. The terrain transitions from the high Lowmiller Bench toward the basin, crisscrossed by a network of water sources including Harmon Springs, Moncur Springs, and Five Springs Creek. Human activity in the mid-1960s is evidenced by numerous Prospects and Quarries scattered across the slopes, alongside the High Ditch irrigation feature. A Rainbow Canyon Observation Point overlooks the deep incision of Rainbow Canyon, while a series of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provide the primary means of navigating this complex system of draws and gulches, such as Black Gulch and Triple Draw.
