About this map

The Bear Lodge Mountains dominate this section of northeastern Wyoming, where the high-altitude terrain of the Black Hills National Forest meets the transition to the plains. High points like Table Mtn and the namesake Schoolmarm Butte overlook a complex network of drainages and ranch roads. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrasts of the Government Valley and the steep, eroded features of The Brakes to the northeast.

Water remains a critical element of the geography, with Stotts Spring feeding into the intricate creek systems of Redwater Cr and Sundance Cr. The transportation patterns reflect a long history of travel through the region, preserved here in the route of Old Hwy 14 as it skirts the southern foothills. Local access is maintained through named tracks such as Government Valley Rd and Co Rd 86, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of Crook County.
