About this map

Indian Springs Park and Cody Park anchor this Fremont County landscape, a terrain defined by complex drainage systems and named peaks. The map reveals a high-altitude network of gulches and canyons, where seasonal water sources like Indian Springs, Mow Spring, and Falling Rock Spring were critical markers for early navigation. Prominent summits including Iron Mountain, McClure Mtn, and Elkhorn Mtn dominate the topography, while the transition between t19s r72w and t20s r72w highlights the systematic land division of the region.

A dense web of modern roads and primitive trails, such as Copper Gulch Rd and Tumbleweed Rd, provides access through the rugged geography. Significant landmarks like Susies Ridge and Titusville Gulch suggest a history of localized naming by early settlers and miners. This 2016 survey documents the enduring physical character of the Fremont and Custer County border before modern developments altered the traditional ranching and mining access routes.
