1967 Map of Meadowlark Lake

About this map

Meadowlark Lake serves as the centerpiece of this high-elevation mountain landscape during the late 1960s, situated at the intersection of Big Horn, Washakie, and Johnson Counties. The map reveals a specialized recreational and administrative geography, featuring the Meadowlark Ski Area, Meadowlark Lodge, and the remote St Christopher in the Bighorn church. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines like Bald Ridge and water systems including West Tensleep Creek and East Tensleep Lake. Numerous campgrounds, such as Sitting Bull Campground and Lake View Campground, are connected by a network of jeep and pack trails, illustrating the area's development for backcountry access and seasonal tourism within the Bighorn National Forest. Administrative presence is noted at the Tyrrell Ranger Station, while the High Park Lookout provides a vantage point over the complex drainage patterns of Bull Creek and Leigh Creek.
