I'm afraid that's a different Sheep Mountain in Wyoming!  The coords are
given in the paper and translate (Google-friendly format) to
42.67722 -105.46667, which matches the maps in the paper.

I happen to have the Douglas, WY BLM map, and sadly, it shows this
entire area around (this particular) Sheep Mountain is private.
However, county road 8 runs about a mile away from the center, and there
are many two-trackers shown on Google Earth plus the BLM map.  I wonder
if the ranchers would give permission to visit?  Maybe not, in the
recent decades they've mostly become very protective and unfriendly to
outsiders.

Still interesting to me, it's just 2.5 hours up the road from home...

Cheers,
