1993 Map of Story
USGS Topo · Published 1997About this map
Story sits at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains in the early 1990s, where the winding waters of North Piney Creek and South Piney Creek converge. This survey documents a landscape where historical conflict and modern conservation intersect. Near the Sheridan and Johnson County line, the Wagon Box Battle Monument marks the site of an 1867 engagement between the U.S. Army and Lakota Sioux. Nearby Ruins and the Penrose Trail suggest the deep layers of transit and settlement through the Piney Divide. The eastern half of the map shows the community's development through institutional footprints like the State Fish Hatchery and Thorn Rider Camp, while the western portion is dominated by the steep ascent of Moncreiffe Ridge into the Bighorn National Forest.
