1987 Map of Pitchfork

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where high-country drainages like Pappapau Creek and Gwinn Fork Dick Creek flow through the timbered foothills of the Absaroka Range. Along the northern edge, the Greybull River serves as the primary artery for agricultural and industrial activity. The presence of the Pitchfork Ditch and Sunshine Supply Ditch illustrates the vital role of water management in supporting the local ranching economy. Near the settlement of Pitchfork, the Four Bear Oil Field marks a pocket of mineral extraction, with a network of unimproved roads and pipelines threading through the terrain. The Timber Creek Ranger Station stands as a lonely outpost at the forest boundary, monitoring the transition from the irrigated river valley to the wilder reaches of the national forest.
