1967 Map of Meadowlark Lake

About this map

Meadowlark Lake serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s recreation landscape, surrounded by a high-altitude network of campgrounds and mountain lodges. The area shows a specialized seasonal economy, featuring the Meadowlark Ski Area with its ski lift and the remote St Christopher in the Bighorn church. Positioned within the Bighorn National Forest, the map captures the transition from vehicular access at Meadowlark Lodge and Deer Haven Lodge to the primitive pack trails leading into the wilderness. Significant landmarks like the Tyrrell Ranger Station and the High Park Lookout reflect the administrative and protective oversight of these uplands. Further north, the landscape is defined by glacial features and alpine parks, including Sitting Bull Park and Deer Park, connected by a web of creeks like West Tensleep Creek and East Tensleep Creek.
