About this map

The Bighorn National Forest dominates this section of the Bighorn Mountains in northern Wyoming, where high-altitude drainages carve through a landscape of named peaks and high prairies. The drainage network is complex, with headwaters for Wolf Cr, Prairie Cr, and Walker Cr radiating from central ridges. A notable water management feature, Sawmill Reservoir, sits along Sawmill Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the region's historical reliance on mountain snowpack for lower-elevation water needs.

Topographical landmarks provide significant orientation for those studying the area, including the prominent Walker Mountain and the expansive Walker Prairie. The map also captures several distinct summits like Lookout Mtn and She-Bear Mtn. Transportation is limited to remote access routes such as Forest Rte 223, emphasizing the primitive and protected nature of this wilderness area near the Sheridan county line during the early 21st century.
