1993 Map of Walker Mountain

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this landscape, showing the rugged topography of Sheridan County in the early 1990s. The map highlights a network of drainage systems including Wolf Creek, Quartz Creek, and Prairie Creek, which carve through the high elevations of Walker Mountain and Lookout Mountain. Resource and range management history is evident at the Quartz Creek Cow Camp and the site of the Taylor Mine. The southern portion of the quadrangle centers on water management and recreation at Sawmill Reservoir and Sawmill Lakes, while established routes like the Roosevelt Trail and Game Trail provide access through the dense contour lines. This survey captures a specific era of forest management where old mining sites and seasonal cow camps coexisted with modern trail networks.
