Climbing Inyan Kara SACRED MOUNTAIN Climbing Inyan Kara >> By Jerry Penry, PS Displayed with permission • The American Surveyor • Vol. 10 No. 10 • Copyright 2013 Cheves Media • www.Amerisurv.com rom many miles away, solitary mountains have captured the attention of explorers and surveyors. Undoubtedly, thoughts of climbing to the summit dominated their minds as they drew closer. Likewise, Native Americans were drawn to isolated mountains and even revered them with spiritual practices. Inyan Kara Mountain is located in northeastern Wyoming approximately five miles off the western edge of the Black Hills and 13 miles south of the town of Sundance. The mountain rises to a height of 6370 feet above sea level and, at well over 1300 feet above the surrounding terrain, can be described as a solitary peak. The name, Inyan Kara, is a modern term derived from the Lakota word, “Heeng-ya ka-ga”, which means “rock gatherer”, or “the peak which makes stone”. Inyan means “stone” in the Dakota language. The word Kara is not part of this language, but is thought to have been a corruption of “Ka-ga” which translates, “to make”. The name probably refers to the fact that the mountain has long been a place for native peoples to gather quartzite for knapping into projectile points and Above: Lt. G. K. Warren of the U. S.

The mountain lured another military party in 1874 when Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer led a large expedition, estimated to be around 1,000 men, through the Black Hills in search of gold. Among the equipment of the expedi- tion were three Gatling guns and one three-inch gun. The size of the party was not to cause trouble with the Indians, but rather to prevent it. During a climb to the summit of Inyan Kara on July 23, 1874, the inscription “G CUSTER 74” was cut into a flat rock near the highest point. Most historians agree that Custer himself probably did not make the inscription, but instead was the work of either Colonel William Ludlow or by General George A. “Sandy” Forsyth.

  • Aerial Detection Survey: 2016 Wyoming
    Aerial Detection Survey: 2016 Wyoming Highlights Mountain Pine Beetle Mountain pine beetle activity has returned to low levels across Wyoming after large epidemics affected approximately 3.5 million acres beginning in the late 1990’s. Aerially detected outbreaks statewide declined to 6,300 acres in 2016. Mountain pine beetle activity was noted on about 3,000 acres of high elevation limber and whitebark pines, primarily in western Wyoming, where it had not previously been observed during the recent epidemic (Figures 1 and 2). Ground surveys of mountain pine beetle activity in the ponderosa pines in northeastern Wyoming’s Black Hills indicate significant improvement, although scattered tree mortality from engraver beetles is visible (Figure 3). This area has been monitored by detailed aerial photo interpretation in cooperation with Wyoming State Forestry Division and neighboring forestry agencies and industries in South Dakota. South central Wyoming including Medicine Bow National Forest and adjacent lands in Carbon, Albany, Converse, Natrona, Laramie and Platte counties - Mountain pine beetle activity in this area remains low with about 600 acres of limber pine affected in 2016. Dead standing trees are common, but no new activity was observed in lodgepole or ponderosa pines. Western Wyoming including Shoshone, Wasatch-Cache and Bridger-Teton National Forests and adjacent lands in Lincoln, Sublette, Uinta, Fremont, Park and Teton counties- Mountain pine beetle activity declined from 30,000 acres in 2015 to 4,100 acres in 2016. North central Wyoming including Bighorn National Forest and adjacent lands in Bighorn, Johnson, Sheridan and Washakie counties- Large areas of forest remain unaffected, yet susceptible, to mountain pine beetle.

    2016 Wyoming Forest Health Highlights Figure 1. Orange trees toward bottom right indicate ponderosa pine mortality caused by bark beetles in the Black Hills of Wyoming. While mountain pine beetle has affected nearly 448,000 acres in the Black Hills National Forest and adjacent lands over the past twenty years, the epidemic has wound down. Photo: Ryan DeSantis Wyoming has a land area of over 62.6 million acres, and elevations range from a low of 3,099 feet on the Belle Fourche River in Crook County in the northeastern corner of the state, to 13,804 feet on Gannett Peak in Fremont County. Approximately 19 percent of Wyoming, or about 11.8 million acres, is forested. Wyoming’s forests provide clean water and air, wood products, habitat for wildlife and other biota, forage for livestock, the foundation of a profitable travel and tourism economy, and places for recreation and spiritual reflection. Wyoming’s forests are facing significant challenges. Bark beetle infestations, drought, highly destructive wildfires, introduction of invasive non-native species, and increased residential development are happening at a level not seen in recent history. Such challenges may inhibit the ability of our forests to provide the full range of multiple uses and values people enjoy and rely on. Most of Wyoming’s forests are located at higher elevations on federal land. Lodgepole pine is the most dominant forest type, followed in order of prevalence by spruce-fir, ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, juniper, aspen, whitebark pine, and limber pine. More than half of Wyoming’s forest land is administered by the U.S.
