1993 Map of Medicine Wheel

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark sits atop the high ridges of the Bighorn National Forest, representing a significant archaeological and sacred site. The 1993 field check shows the area's complex drainage systems, where Porcupine Creek and Five Springs Creek carve through the high-altitude terrain. The presence of modern infrastructure, such as the FAA Radio Tower and multiple runaway truck ramps along the steep mountain grades, contrasts with the primitive Use Trail and the isolated Cow Camp. This landscape is defined by its extreme elevations, stretching from the peak of Medicine Mountain down to the basins of Crystal Creek. The inclusion of landmarks like Porcupine Falls and Petes Hole highlights the diverse hydrological features that have historically supported grazing and seasonal encampments in these Wyoming highlands.
