2015 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

Pine Ridge dominates the central landscape of this Crook County terrain, where high divides and narrow drainages define the ranching and timbered character of northeastern Wyoming. The historic route of the Deadwood Stage Rd traverses the western portion of the map, a remnant of the region's 19th-century gold rush and pioneer travel networks. The area around Iron Mtn is marked by a complex system of local tracks including Old Sundance Rd, Happy Cabin Rd, and Tom Cat Ln, which connect isolated homesteads and water sources like Sommers Reservoir. These names reflect the local heritage of the frontier era, while the convergence of Inyan Kara Cr and Tomcat Cr illustrates the reliance on intermittent drainages in the high plains. The map captures the continued significance of high-elevation features like the Nefsy Divide and Little Pine Ridge in shaping the modern road and property networks.
