2017 Map of Campfire Lake

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Park County, where steep drainages and alpine lakes define the wilderness character. The map centers on the headwaters of several major water systems, including the S Fork Shields River and Middle Fork Sweet Grass Cr. High peaks such as Sunlight Peak and Sugar Loaf Mtn rise above the timberline, while Black Mtn stands near the divide between the eastern and western slopes. This region is dotted with high-mountain water bodies, most notably Campfire Lake, Sunlight Lake, and the aptly named Dead Horse Lakes. This 2017 survey details a remote backcountry network of Forest Service infrastructure, including the Lima Corn Connect and Ibex RD, providing precise data for hikers and explorers navigating the drainages of Trespass Cr and Cottonwood Cr.
