About this map

The Bighorn National Forest interior, spanning the Sheridan and Big Horn county line, is characterized here by its high-altitude resource management and seasonal livestock heritage. The presence of Padlock Cow Camp and the Woodrock Guard Sta reflects the administrative and ranching history of the region in the mid-1960s. The landscape is a complex drainage system defined by the South Tongue River and its many tributaries, including Copper Creek and Sucker Creek.

Evidence of human activity is scattered throughout the timbered terrain, from the Taylor Mine in the northern reach to several recreational sites like Owen Creek Campground and West Woodrock Campground. Transportation in this era relied heavily on a network of unpaved routes, including the Old Mohawk Road and various pack trails and jeep trails that provided access to remote peaks such as Lookout Mtn and Black Mountain.
