About this map

The high-altitude drainage systems of Waugh Mountain define this Fremont County landscape, as mapped by the Geological Survey during the late 1970s and early 1980s. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access across the high country, connecting several distinct peaks including Loco Mountain, Burris Mountain, and the prominent Stoney Face Mountain to the west. Evidence of early mineral interest remains at a single Prospect located near the southern boundary between Long Gulch and Waugh Gulch.

The terrain is deeply etched by water, with North Tallahassee Creek and Quagmire Creek carving through the granite slopes. The map captures a transitional zone where high ridges like Green Mountain give way to the complex ravine systems of Indian Gulch and Antelope Gulch. These features reflect a legacy of ranching and high-country exploration in the southern Rockies before modern development impacted the area's secluded character.
