About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, revealing a high-altitude network of lakes and reservoirs within the Big Horn and Johnson County lines. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Saddle Mountain and Elk Peak, connected by a series of primitive transport routes including a Pack Trail and Jeep Trail. The map documents early recreational infrastructure in the region, featuring the Ranger Creek Campground, Sawmill Lakes Campground, and Twin Lakes Campground.

Water management and natural drainage are central themes, illustrated by the Dome Lake Reservoir and the Gaging Sta on the upper reaches of Big Goose Creek. Distinctive landmarks such as Preacher Rock and Dome Rock provide orientation points for those navigating the wilderness area. The presence of numerous small alpine bodies of water like Lake Fontanalis and Lake Dunchi highlights the glacial character of this mountain terrain during the mid-century period.
