2012 Map of Jim Mountain

About this map

Jim Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Park County, where complex drainage systems define the territory. The map details a network of waterways including Robbers Roost Cr, Trout Cr, and the lyrically named Laughing Water Cr, illustrating how water shaped the access and settlement patterns of this Wyoming wilderness. While largely unsettled, the map identifies isolated outposts like Robbers Roost Cabin and established agricultural holdings such as Mooncrest Ranch and Four Bear Ranch. The northern section is accessed via Rattlesnake Creek Rd, following the winding path of Rattlesnake Cr. These labels reflect a history of frontier habitation and cattle ranching, providing specific locations for researchers tracing the development of high-country ranching or those interested in the folklore behind names like Gunnysack Cr and Singing Brook.
