Township 6 South, Range 11 East. 



Topography. — The central areas of the township consist of a section of the 

 main range of the Absaroka Mountains, forming the divide between Mill Creek 

 and Boulder River basins. The ridges attain altitudes of 11,000 feet, and abound 

 with peaked and craggy crests. The eastern area comprises bowlder-littered 

 canyons, opening into the main valley of Boulder River, and separated by rough- 

 crested, narrow, and precipitous ridges. The western area is of similar character, 

 the canyons forming in part the northern and central water heads of the Mill 

 Creek drainage. 



Mining. — None. 



Soil. — The soil is thin and rocky. In the forested areas it is enriched by a 

 topping of loam and mold. Most of the tract is thickly strewn with bowlders.
