2020 Map of Indian Spring

About this map

Custer National Forest dominates the landscape of the Pryor Mountains on the border of Big Horn and Carbon County. This high-elevation terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and primitive routes that speak to the area's grazing and timber history. Major landforms like Big Pryor Mtn and the Red Pryor Divide overlook deep incisions such as Inferno Canyon and Timber Canyon. Water remains the most critical resource in this arid environment, marked by isolated points like Indian Spring, Ingram Spring, and Angus Spring. A complex system of historical access paths, including the Stockman Trail, King Trail, and Miller Trail, winds through the canyons and over the ridges, tracing the movement of livestock and forest travelers across the mountain front.
