1987 Map of Bald Peak

About this map

The Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves a deep path through Clarks Canyon. This 1987 provisional survey reveals a transition from the dramatic heights of Bald Peak and the sweeping Bald Ridge down to the water-managed features of the lower elevations. The map documents the presence of Luce Reservoir and Hogan Reservoir near the northern boundary, illustrating how water is channeled through a series of drainages including Newmeyer Creek and Sheep Creek. Notable topographical landmarks like Dead Indian Hill and the Natural Corral highlight the complex geology of Park County. The inclusion of Bridal Veil Falls and various 4wd tracks suggests a region utilized for both its natural resources and remote access, preserved here during the late 1980s before modern digital mapping standardizations.
