About this map

The Custer National Forest anchors this high-elevation landscape where the Pryor Mountains rise toward Big Pryor Mtn. The topography is defined by a series of dramatic drainages, including Timber Canyon, Water Canyon, and the appropriately named Inferno Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with named points such as Indian Spring, Angus Spring, and Ingram Spring providing essential resources for livestock and wildlife.

Transport through this part of Carbon County is limited to a network of established tracks and paths. The Sage Creek Rd follows the valley of Sage Creek in the north, while higher elevations are accessed via the Stockman Trl, King Trl, and Miller Trl. This network suggests a land use centered on seasonal grazing and forest management rather than permanent settlement, with the boundary between Carbon and Big Horn counties cutting across the northern reaches of the Pryor Mountains.
