About this map

The Jim Bridger Trail winds through the heart of this landscape, marking a historical corridor across the high basins of the Bighorn Basin during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of Coon Creek and its southern tributary, the West Fork South Coon Creek, which carve through the arid topography near the Park Co Big Horn Co line. Water management in this dry environment is evidenced by the presence of Johnson Reservoir No 2 and scattered Well markers. The northern reaches are characterized by the flow of Whistle Creek, while the intricate contour lines illustrate the deeply dissected ridges and breaks typical of this Wyoming region before modern intensification. This survey captures a moment of quiet isolation, where the legacy of early western passage via the Bridger Trail remained a prominent physical feature on the land.
