1960 Map of Hidden Tepee Creek

About this map

Bighorn National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Big Horn and Sheridan County line crosses through the peaks and canyons. The presence of the Horse Creek Cow Camp at the edge of Torry Gulch points to the seasonal grazing operations typical of this era, supported by numerous water sources such as Wolf Springs and Deer Spring. The drainage network is complex, characterized by the North Tongue River and the bifurcated West Fork Horse Creek and East Fork Horse Creek which carve between high plateaus like Elkhorn Mesa and Sunlight Mesa. Access is restricted to the Hunt Mountain Road and various Jeep Trails, highlighting the isolation of these summits before more modern developments or expanded recreational infrastructure reached the deeper forest interior.
