About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the border of Sheridan and Big Horn counties. In the mid-1960s, this area functioned as a working wilderness, evidenced by the presence of the Woodrock Guard Sta and the Padlock Cow Camp. The map details a complex network of resource management and recreation, from the extraction at Taylor Mine to the numerous developed sites like West Woodrock Campground and East Woodrock Campground.

Hydrographic features like the South Tongue River and Little Tongue River are fed by numerous high-country tributaries, including Prune Creek and Bonanza Creek. Transportation in this era relied heavily on specialized routes such as the Old Mohawk Woodrock Road and various pack trails. Prominent peaks including Black Mountain and Lookout Mtn overlook the alpine basins and lakes such as Duncan Lake.
