About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Carbon County, where the Silver Run Plateau dominates the southwestern terrain. The area is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Sheep Mtn in the north and the central Burnt Mtn, with Bare Mtn standing to the west. This 2017 survey details a complex hydrologic network of creeks such as W Red Lodge Cr and Burnt Fork Cr that drain these mountains.

Remote alpine water bodies are a primary feature of the high country, notably Lake Gertrude, the Silver Run Lakes, and Basin Creek Lake. Human access into these peaks is traced via Forest Rte 71, which follows the drainage of W Fork Rock Cr. The map also preserves the administrative grid of the Public Land Survey System, including boundaries for t7s r18e and t7s r19e, overlaying the natural topography.
