2012 Map of Spanish Point

About this map

Spanish Point and Iron Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in Big Horn County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages and alpine lakes. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle serves as a recreational hub, featuring Upper Medicine Lodge Lake and Lower Medicine Lodge Lake, alongside the facilities at Paint Rock Lodge. This area is punctuated by specialized sites such as the Upper Paint Rock Lake Campground and Medicine Lodge Lake Campground, indicating a well-established pattern of seasonal access and outdoor activity near the forks of Medicine Lodge Cr and Trapper Cr. Further west, the presence of the Taylor Cow Camp reflects the continued importance of livestock management in the region's open spaces. The map also documents numerous smaller water sources and crossings, including White Bottom Spring and Johnny Cr, which illustrate the vital water-distribution patterns across this segment of the Wyoming wilderness.
