1984 Map of Sherrard Hill

About this map

Bear Lodge Mountains terrain dominates this 1980s topographic survey of Crook County, Wyoming. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Black Hills National Forest, where a network of watercourses including Lytle Creek and its tributary West Lytle Creek carve through the wooded uplands. Distinct peaks such as Sherrard Hill, Manly Hill, and Newton Hill provide prominent landmarks across the forest interior, while the western edge is marked by Nelson Canyon and the Brimmer and Whitetail areas. Infrastructure within this protected wilderness is sparse, limited primarily to a Radio Tower and the Wooden Pole Trans Line cutting across the north-central sections. This map documents the forest's drainage patterns and topographic character just before the mid-1980s, serving as a record of the primitive roads and natural features that define this portion of the Black Hills.
