2011 Map of Mystery Cave

About this map

Wild Horse Mine sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the drainage systems of North Fork Trail Creek and South Fork Trail Creek feed toward the expansive waters of Bighorn Lake. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region defined by dramatic topographic relief, including the prominent Tillet Ridge and the distinct elevations of Bar Hill and Yellow Hill. Transportation through this area is facilitated by rugged routes such as Mystery Cave Rd and Bad Pass Rd. Near the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, the Devils Canyon Overlook provides a vantage point above the lake's edge, accessed via Canyon Overlook Rd, illustrating the intersection of mining history and modern recreational access within Carbon County.
