About this map

Black Hills and the Bear Lodge Mountains converge in this high-elevation corner of Wyoming, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainages of Redwater Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks and plateaus, including the namesake Sugarloaf Mountain, Table Mountain, and Skunk Peak. Water sources are critical features in this arid mountain environment, marked by sites such as Merrick Spring, Dean Spring, and the Hemler Res.

Evidence of local industry and settlement is sparse but present, notably at Farrall and a solitary Gravel Pit located in Government Valley. The mapping of numerous draws and creeks, such as Mosquito Draw, Twomile Creek, and Onemile Creek, reveals a network of seasonal watercourses carved into the timbered slopes. This survey reflects the region's character as a managed landscape, clearly delineating the National Forest Boundary as it snakes across the varied topography.
