1991 Map of Logan Mountain

About this map

Logan Mountain and Rattlesnake Mountain define this high-elevation landscape within the Shoshone National Forest. The map documents a dramatic vertical transition from the southern edge of the Buffalo Bill Reservoir up through the steep, weathered rock formations known as The Palisades. This area, revised by the Forest Service in 1991, shows a landscape primarily managed for natural resources and recreation, marked by narrow drainage systems like Rattlesnake Creek and Weber Creek. Trace the path of the Monument Trail as it traverses the ridgelines near Chalk Mountain and Red Ridge, providing access to remote locations such as Trough Spring. The density of springs and water tanks noted across the survey area reflects the critical importance of water management in this arid mountain terrain during the late twentieth century.
