About this map

Logan Mountain and the high ridges of the Palisades dominate this high-elevation landscape in Park County, where the topography transitions from the high peaks of the Shoshone National Forest down toward the western edge of the Buffalo Bill Reservoir. This 1980s-era survey reveals an environment defined by its water sources and sharp relief, ranging from Trough Spring and Blue Springs in the north to the southern shoreline within Buffalo Bill State Park.

Drainage patterns are clearly articulated through the courses of Rattlesnake Creek, Trout Creek, and Weber Creek, which have carved significant features such as Rattlesnake Canyon. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact alignment of remote mountain trails and primitive roads as they existed before modern developments, crossing landmarks like Chalk Mountain, Monument Hill, and the steep Red Ridge.
