1992 Map of Pilot Hill

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by the various branches of Lodgepole Creek. Centered on the prominent summit of Pilot Hill, the map reveals a network of high-country access routes including the Pilot Hill Road and the Happy Jack Highway to the south. The area is characterized by dramatic rock formations such as Peggy Rock, Pinnacle Peaks, and the imposing Eagle Rock. This survey, revised in the early 1990s, captures the modernization of the ridge tops with several Radio Towers and a Radio Tower positioned to take advantage of the elevation. The western slopes are defined by steep drainage patterns including Telephone Canyon and Government Gully, while water sources like Laycock Spring and Telephone Spring provide critical points of interest for those tracing the historical hydrology of these Wyoming uplands.
