1966 Map of Gilmore Hill SE

About this map

The Park and Big Horn county line bisects this high-country landscape, where the deeply dissected drainage basins of Whistle Creek and Coon Creek dominate the topography. Historically significant as a transcontinental passage, the Jim Bridger Trail winds through the central part of the quadrangle, following the natural contours of the ridges above the West Fork. The water distribution across this arid region is marked by small-scale features like the Well and Johnson Reservoir No 2, indicating the infrastructure necessary for land use in the mid-1960s. The convergence of the South Fork and various tributary drainages creates a complex system of draws and spurs that define the local relief, providing a clear record of the area's geological character before modern development or large-scale landscape modification.
