About this map

Meadowlark Lake and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Bighorn National Forest anchor this 1993 study of north-central Wyoming. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Big Horn, Washakie, and Johnson counties, where the Skyway Scenic Byway winds through alpine parks and recreational sites. Settlement is sparse and focused on seasonal use, evidenced by the presence of Meadowlark Lodge, Deer Haven Lodge, and the chapel St Christopher in the Bighorn.

Hydrological features such as Tensleep Creek and its various forks dominate the drainage patterns, while the Meadowlark Dam regulates the lake itself. The map reveals the infrastructure of mid-century recreation and land management, from the Tyrell Ranger Sta and its nearby Heliport to the developed slopes of the High Park Ski Area. Notable landmarks like Bald Ridge and the Cloud Peak Wilderness boundary illustrate the transition from accessible forest roads to protected backcountry.
