About this map

Walker Mountain and the high plateaus of Sheridan County define this landscape of the Bighorn National Forest region. The map documents a rugged drainage network where Wolf Cr and Gloom Cr carve through high-elevation terrain punctuated by Big Mountain and Little Mountain. A notable human element in this wilderness is the Quartz Creek Cow Camp, indicating the area's continued use for seasonal livestock grazing.

Water management and recreation are central to the southern portion of the quadrangle, evidenced by Sawmill Reservoir and Sawmill Lake along Sawmill Cr. The eastern slopes descend toward Walker Prairie, framed by the distinct rise of She-Bear Mountain. This survey provides a clear look at the primitive road network, including FS RD 26, as it navigates the complex headwaters of the W Fork Big Goose Cr.
