1960 Map of Mexican Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Big Horn and Sheridan counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably the steep drop into Devil Canyon and the prominent heights of Sheep Mountain. In the northern section, Cookstove Basin provides a broad topographical bowl, while the drainage network includes the headwaters of Trout Creek and Bucking Mule Creek, the latter featuring Bucking Mule Falls. This mid-century survey reveals a wilderness mostly accessible via a network of foot trails and jeep trails. Human presence is sparse, limited to scattered infrastructure like Cow Camp and named landmarks such as Mexican Hill and Hannans Coulee. The map provides a detailed view of the complex water systems in this region, including Railroad Springs and the convergence of Big Tepee Creek and Little Tepee Creek in the south.
