About this map

Wyoming Peak and Mount Darby anchor this high-altitude landscape in the Wyoming Range, where vertical relief dictates the drainage of numerous creeks. The northeastern corner contains the only concentrated human settlement at the Middle Piney Summer Home Area, situated near the confluence of Middle Piney Cr and Straight Cr. This area serves as a gateway to seasonal recreation, supported by the Middle Piney Dam and nearby facilities like Sacajawea Campground and the Middle Piney Lake Campground.

A complex network of canyons and passes, including Burney Canyon, Prospect Canyon, and Cheese Pass, reveals the difficult passage through these mountains. Waterways such as Indian Cr, Fish Cr, and the S Piney Cr carve deep into the terrain, sometimes punctuated by landmarks like Lewis Falls or Wohelo Falls. The map details the transition from high summits like Fish Creek Mountain to the lower reaches of North Mountain, connected by primitive routes such as Middle Piney Rd and FS 46.
