About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the rugged geography of this Wyoming survey, where high ridges and deep drainages shaped early ranching and mining access. The map captures a high-elevation landscape marked by the seasonal operations of the Quartz Creek Cow Camp and several peaks, including Big Mtn and She-bear Mountain. Evidence of early resource extraction is visible near Taylor Mine 4WD and a Gravel Pit located along the forest roads.

A complex network of water sources, from Wolf Creek in the north to Sawmill Reservoir in the south, highlights the importance of water management in the Sheridan County high country. The presence of Sawmill Lakes and West Fork Big Goose Creek suggests the area's role in supplying lower-elevation agriculture. Remote tracks like the Game Trail and various unnamed 4WD roads provide a look at the backcountry accessibility during the early 1990s.
