About this map

Hazelton Peak and the nearby Hazelton Pyramid anchor the high-elevation landscape of the Bighorn National Forest in this late-1960s survey. The map details a complex network of headwaters, where the North Fork Powder River and tributaries like Canyon Cr flow through deeply incised valleys. This era shows the intersection of natural resource management and mountain recreation, centered on the Dullknife Reservoir and its spillway.

Evidence of early industrial activity persists at the Big Horn Mine, accessible via the descriptive Gold Mine Road. Isolated outposts like Cow Camp provide a record of the region's continued ranching heritage, while a Gaging Sta on the North Fork Powder River reflects the importance of water monitoring in this drainage basin. The intricate web of unpaved tracks, such as Upper Doyle Creek Road, illustrates the historical access patterns used by foresters, miners, and stockmen alike.
