2020 Map of Bare Mountain

About this map

Custer National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where the Beartooth Range topography is defined by significant elevation changes and alpine water systems. The Silver Run Plateau anchors the southwestern portion of the sheet, feeding a network of high-mountain lakes including Lake Gertrude, the Silver Run Lakes, and Basin Lakes. Human presence is marked by a history of trail-blazing and seasonal habitation, evidenced by the Rankin Homestead in the northwest and Camp Senia along Senia Cr. The map details a complex drainage system where the W Fork Rock Cr and Red Lodge Creek receive numerous tributaries such as Burnt Fork Cr and Thiel Cr. This document is particularly valuable for tracing historical access routes like the Timberline path and the Bear Track trail, which connect the lower creek beds to the summits of Bare Mtn and Burnt Mtn.
