1960 Map of Spanish Point

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of numerous mountain creeks descend toward the Bighorn Basin. In the early 1960s, the area served as a critical nexus for range management and outdoor recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Paint Rock Guard Station and the Paint Rock Lodge. The map documents a complex network of pack trails and early motor paths, including the Edelman Trail and a Jeep Trail winding through the steep terrain of Trapper Canyon. A significant cluster of alpine lakes, such as Upper and Lower Medicine Lodge Lake, highlights the importance of the local watershed. Notable landmarks like Spanish Point and Black Butte rise above the drainage systems of Dry Medicine Lodge Creek and Trout Creek, while isolated sites like Taylor Cow Camp point to the enduring tradition of high-country cattle grazing in this portion of Big Horn County.
