About this map

The boundary of the Girl Scout National Center West cuts through the high-elevation landscape of the Big Horn Mountains on this mid-1960s survey. The terrain is defined by deep cuts like Box Canyon and the winding North Fork Otter Creek, while infrastructure is limited to primitive routes like Rome Hill Road and Mazet Road. Isolated landmarks such as Wilkes Cabin and Andrews Corral speak to the area's history of ranching and seasonal habitation.

Aviation and recreation footprints appear in the form of the Mazet Landing Strip and proximity to the national Girl Scout site. Water sources are critical in this environment, as evidenced by numerous named flows including Billy Creek and Jacobs Creek, along with high-altitude features like Monument Hill and Monument Spring. The map clearly delineates the county line between Washakie and Johnson County, marking a remote stretch of the Wyoming interior before modern development shifted the character of these mountain tracts.
