1993 Map of Powder River Pass

About this map

The Bighorn National Forest landscape depicted here centers on the high-elevation transition between the rugged peaks of the Cloud Peak Wilderness and the headwaters of the Powder River. Access through this terrain is defined by the Skyway Scenic Byway, which winds past Powder River Pass and Munkres Pass, connecting the high country to the drainage basins below. Evidence of localized industry and resource extraction is visible through a noted Gold Mine and multiple Gravel Pit sites.
