About this map

Piney Dell sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the foothills of the Beartooth Range meet the Montana-Wyoming border. This 1980s provisional study details a rugged transition between the Custer National Forest and Shoshone National Forest, defined by significant peaks such as Mount Maurice, Wapiti Mtn, and Tolman Mountain. The drainages here, including Silver Run Creek and South Fork Grove Creek, carve deep valleys into the Plateau, illustrating a drainage pattern that feeds the lower basins.

Land use is primarily focused on the preservation of timber and water resources, with recreation noted at Rock Roadside Park along the highway. The map captures the intricate network of natural draws like Mill Draw and Robertson Draw, which are critical for local stockmen and hunters. The boundary line between Carbon Co and Park Co is clearly delineated, marking the administrative divisions within the forested highlands.
