About this map

The town of Sundance anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, situated at the base of the massive Sundance Mountain. This territory is defined by complex drainage systems and high points, including the Warren Peaks and the high-elevation Bear Lodge Mountain Lookout Tower. The map reveals a history of resource extraction and community infrastructure, from the early industrial presence at Coal Mine Hill and the W Fork Quarry to the local aviation history at Schloredt Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named locations such as Jacobson Draw, Jim Wayne Canyon, and Kaiser Spring. The transition from the settled valley near Mount Moriah Cemetery to the recreational and timbered heights of Reuter Canyon Campground reflects the dual character of this Crook County region. A network of forest roads like Bear Lodge Rd and Sundance-Warren Peak Rd provides insight into how the backcountry was accessed for both fire watch and resource management.
