1995 Map of Sheep Mountain

About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of Sheep Mountain and the expansive Sheep Creek Bar dominate the topography. Grounded in a 1995 revision of mid-century aerial surveys, the map reveals a network of watercourses including Cottonwood Creek and Horse Creek that drain toward the Prairie. A distinct National Forest Boundary separates the protected forest lands from the adjacent terrain, marked by the 3rd Standard Parallel North. High passes and ridges, such as Elk Horn Pass and Rocky Ridge, provide navigational anchors within the mountain range. The map illustrates a landscape primarily defined by its natural drainage patterns and topographical relief, with Bear Gulch and Jack Creek carving through the slopes of the northern sections.
