1993 Map of Old Maid Gulch

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this landscape, where the dramatic descent of the Tensleep Canyon carves through the central terrain. This 1990s revision reveals a geography defined by its transitions from high mountain draws to broad plateaus like Schoonover Flats. Human presence is anchored by the Tensleep Fish Hatchery and local landmarks like the Leigh Monument and Circle J Ranch. The map details specialized land use, including the Girl Scout National Center West Boundary and the infrastructure of the Cloud Peak Skyway Scenic Byway. These transport corridors, such as Rome Hill Road, follow the natural contours of the drainages, connecting remote outposts like Canyon Lodge and the historical site of Williams Mill to the wider region. The intricate network of springs and gulches, including Old Maid Gulch and Cooks Canyon, illustrates the complex hydrology of the western Bighorns.
