1993 Map of Hidden Tepee Creek

About this map

The Medicine Wheel Passage Scenic Byway winds through the northern reaches of the Bighorn National Forest, tracing a high-elevation route across the divide between Big Horn and Sheridan Counties. This high-country landscape is defined by its network of water resources and seasonal grazing infrastructure, including numerous stock tanks and the Horse Creek Cow Camp. The map documents a complex system of livestock and recreational paths, from the Medicine Wheel Trail to the Sunlight Cutoff Trail, which navigate the steep descent from Wallrock down toward the North Tongue River. The distribution of corrals and named water sources like Wheddon Spring and Wolf Springs illustrates the enduring importance of mountain pasturage in this corner of the Bighorn range during the late twentieth century.
